well it would be a long while before i would be able to afford this, but i find it interesting that charbuster seems to be able to get licensing that soundchoice can't *only 2 media cards vs hundreds of discs*. Altho two cards suggests a lower bit rate. Well i guess if it was 192 or higher i...

Thank you for correcting me about Disney i have a very bad memory but I do believe the manufacturers whom first told me this story and when I consequently did a little reasearch. I just have an extremely bad memory, i'd have to search my records to find out whom I was talking about. As for...

In my opinion Karaoke CD+Gs are no different than a movie that has subtitles. Subtitles do not require the sync license talked about and some of the courts in the US have agreed with this assesment, until it goes to the supreme court *which I don't think it ever will not enuff of the right...

i used to have a proper cd+g certified drive and had no problems with compuhost, which i used because i have their book software and it will also add songs directly. once the drivedied i had all sorts of problems. noww i use power cdg, butit still doesn't work with the drive on my computer...

I have no idea if Tricerasoft is still selling tracks of Top Hits Monthly, but those tracks belong to Stellar and Tony Walstra has told me personally thru email that these tracks were never liscense to be sold digitally AT ALL.. -James

Well i honestly don't know which Sweet Georgia brown set is the 'original' one but the set of redish brown discs I have is pretty decent. With a few expeptions *their is a Frank sinatra disc where the lyrics on 'it was a very good year' are all messed up, and these were original factory sealed...

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. In regards to animals, I will agree to disagree. I know for a FACT that dogs have personalities and can reason, as I have personally witnessed it for myself. I will site a couple of examples from my own dog. When my dog was a puppy he had a habit...

Unfortunately that part of it is much more clear. The difference in your examples are that none of those instances are COMMERCIAL uses. The laws in the US are much more flexible when it comes to home use and the rights of a consumer are clearly defined -James

Ok I'll say it again. I am NOT a lawyer but to the best of my understanding what makes it ok to use a CD+G disc for COMMERCIAL use is the PERFORMANCE fees *ASCAP et el in US and SOCAN in Canada* which are not our responsibility as a host/kj. When manufacturers in the UK sell their tracks to...

wow that is disappointing. the zoom tracks there are at 256 and most of the sbi tracks are too.. the very lowest qaulity i have seen from them are 192 from sunfly.. I guess the MMO people got lazy and did the least amount of work possible to have them converted.. :( -James

well that is the million dollar question right there. Because in my OPINION there IS no difference. Performance fees, in my opinion, are what make using karaoke tracks legal to use in a bar*ie commercial use*. Therefore, there should be no difference in what format they are in. -James

In my opinion, the risk to connecting to the internet, as long as you are going to a legitimate site like sunfly or zoom is minimal. Anti-virus software only protects you against known threats. If u pick up a virus, the chances are it will be from something that viral software does not...

Ok I know what is actually happening isn't funny but this just about made me do a spit-take all over my TV screen. Thanks for the laugh sandman -James

you are mistaken. The copyright holders are recieving income from songs they wouldn't have gotten anything from if the were tried to be sold directly from the states because those same copyright holders won't ALLOW them to be used for karaoke. To the best of my knowledge the copyright holder...

If all other options fail, then you may be able to get the pocketsongs version from Selectatrack as a large selection of their tracks are available digitally now. Also I believe Pocketsongs sells their tracks directly from their website as well now if u prefer to go directly to the source. -James

I will take anything by Lady Gaga, Picture has already been mentioned.. Paradise is getting old but I don't mind IF it is done extremely well. I'm sure american pie is on some peoples list. In fact, I would also go as far to say any song over 5 minutes long should be banned! More to come...

my favourite line to use when I'm about to deliberately do a bad song is along the lines of "Before I sing, I would like to remind everyone that I do sell earplugs for $5/pair"

hmmm hard to decide how I feel exactly. somewhere between sad with nostalgia and slightly happy

Well one of my techniques was to sing a song very badly or to pick one that was completely beyond my ability just to prove that karaoke isn't always about singing, but having fun I also used humor whenever i could -James

Just for the record, i didn't take any offense to the original post, I actually thought it was quite funny. And Dan, i had no problems with your post either, there are quite a few people who take adantage of the system, i just wanted people to know that not everyone does.. :) -James
