Soundchoice Mutisession Won't Read - Older Plextor FIRMWARE at fault

I have imported aprx. 1000 of my CDG's of various mfgrs into hoster including some soundchoice multisession cdg's, but as I got down to the last 50 soundchoice cdg's I can't read these with hoster at all. I have gone back and tried ealier imported soundchoice multisession cdg's, and these still read just fine. the SC cdg's that won't read are my most recent purchased ones, mainly
SC3314 through 3400, and several earlier 2200 series.
I have a recently MTU factory configured portable Hoster pc w/ P4 @3 ghz,
200ghd, plextor px-716, 7 hoster upgraded to 3.4.
It seems that w/ my ealier hoster 2.**, multissesions would read all but the last track. but now w/ hooster 3.** I can't get them to read at all.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hoster 3.300 and the latest 3.301, use a different method to import Multisession discs... including the last track with the correct length. We tested with a number of Multisession discs and didn't find or have our Beta Testers report any that won't import. I don't know about the SC3314 - SC3400 series.

Did you ever try to import any of the SC3314 - SC3400 discs into Hoster 2.**? If so, what was your results? If not, then SC may have started using a new COPY PROTECTION method that is non-standard.

Sc3314 - Sc3400 Multissesions

I Don't think so. These were my most recent SC's purchased aprx 2004 - 2005 and the final cdg's I have to import into Hoster in order complete this process. I have been porting my cdg's into Hoster for a year now, and am eager to get started with my new Hoster system, but I don't want to start without these my latest additions of S.C. new monthly releases. I wonder if anyone
else has had any luck with this series/vintage of soundchoice multissesion cdg's?
Or if anyone knows of a solution or software that will copy these cdg tracks
onto a cdg that can be imported to Hoster. I hope someone knows of a
process that will work, as this will be an expesive collection to replace.

These cdg's SC3314 - SC3400 which won't read at all are mostly Soundchoice power picks series.

Thats weird, I had a singer bring in a power pick cd-g last week and while I was importing during a song, Hoster blimped out and everything went quiet, embarrassing huh.


Is power Pick one of the "bad guys" to avoid, perhaps??

I already avoid chartbuster like the plague, sheesh!!

We're ordering one today. We'll research this problem.

Thanks for this thread!

We just ordered disc 3314, 3400 and 3416. They should be here at MTU sometime towards the end of next week so that we can look at this problem.

kJAT9,
I got 2 of these discs in Yesterday. The ones that I have are SC3400 and SC3314, they are multisession and they show all 16 tracks on both Discs using the following drives:

Plextor PX-716AL Firmware Version: 1.02
Plextor PX-740A Firmware Version 1.01 NOTE:This drive does not normally work correctly for Multisession discs, but with these it is working fine.
Plextor PX-716A Firmware Version: 1.09
Pioneer DVR-K05 Firmware Version : 1.03(Laptop drive)

They show all 16 tracks on both of the discs on all the listed drives above, so this must be a hardware related problem.

Try updating your Firmware for your Plextor drives from:http://www.plextor.com/english/suppo...oads.html#firm Select the model of your Plextor drive, and download and update to the latest firmware.

SC multisession

Thanks I'll try updating updating my Plextor firmware.
I did manage to get 13 of the 16 tracks from #3400 to import after trying several times. but #3314 won't read any tracks at all. I have been able to get most of my SC multisessions to import except for aprx. 25 of them won't read at all.

Since our test concluded that current Plextor drives read these discs, you may want to consider upgrading your drive... if upgrading the firmware on your existing drives failed to deliver... and if you need these tracks quickly.

We are working on Hoster 3.400, which will have a superior drive interface to work with more drives. We don't have it working yet even to beta test, so we don't even have an estimated release date. It will be out as fast as we can release it.
