But how is that a comparison? That's like comparing CDG players to Amish record players...no one uses that.
MIXSIRS said:The comparison is CDG players to CD and DVD ROM drives, not hard drives.
Thunder said:But why are you using the Computer CDrom drive to run karaoke?
JoeChartreuse said:Geez, Steve, I hope you're not replying to me. That would be seriously dumb. You know I am both disc and player based..... DON'T YOU?

I think I understand now...which is not that easy
I thought Joe was comparing "hard" drives to CDG players. Joe was comparing CD Rom drives to CDG players.
The reason I thought that is because I don't see a reason to compare CDG players to CD Rom drives...is because, as Steve and Justin pointed out, NO ONE uses CD Rom drives for karaoke.
It's like comparing a Corvette to a tricycle...and announcing that you've discovered that for an enjoyable ride with your date, you've found that the Corvette is a much better option than the tricycle. Who is using a tricycle to go on dates?

Thunder said:Ok so why are you using the CD rom drive when you already have to music files on the hard drive?
If you are using it to play someone elses disc, it will already have spun up and you qued the song before the previous singer is finished, so again it would be no faster nor slower than any CDG specific player!
Thunder said:Yes, I am just trying to figure out why anyone who is computer based is using the CD rom ro run Karaoke, and why the comparision is even being made!

Big Joe said:My #1 reason for not even considering the Gem Series comes right from Sound Choice. In post #85 in the "Gem Series Appears" thread Kurt says the following:
"Additiionally the GEM series are LICENSED to the individual or company - there is no legal "reselling" of them and both the seller and prospective buyer of them would be in violation of the license agreement and could not operate legally."
So, unlike the discs that I own, If I spend $3000 and up to purchase these, they have no value at all anymore if and when I decide to get out of karaoke?
Thunder said:I am not and have not complained about any of it either way, I adjust and move on, but if some of my competition gets knocked down along the way then i don't see it as a bad thing at all! Even downloads are are going to cost something to produce I don't think anyone will see anything for sale less than it si right now in fact I think a download will be a little higher per song than the current delivery system.
Right now by pre-ordering the GEM sets anyone can get them for less than $1 per song every manu that is currently producing (including Sound Choice sells "disc" at the minimum for more than that!
jclaydon said:I agree it could have been phrased more clearly but your other realization was what Kurt meant to say because he has mentioned it in other threads.
If a person wants to sell their business but keep the computer equipment, they must delete all the files from their hard drive.
Additionally, i believe Kurt has mentioned that the owner would have to notify soundchoice of the sale, so they can update their records. Also if a person did buy the GEM series and later sold it make sure you keep the bill of sale safe..
A place to debate everything and anything!
