Not some of the ones I knew. They were running 20-30-40K selections - MASSIVE duplications however since they were copying libraries between manufacturer core sets and then any other disc they could ley their mitts on. Most of them carried their discs in either the sleeves in big coffin crates or massive cd books.

Anybody who researches my postings with an open mind would be hard pressed to make a case that I have a track record of ripping manufacturers. If I misunderstood the disclaimer, than I misunderstood it in good faith and that's certainly no worse a sin than having someone misunderstand what I'm all about, right?

As for mp3 + g's I prefer to have a disc I can show if I ever happen to be audited and what if I suffer a computer crash? A custom disc can be re-ripped. How many mp3+gs of a track can I legally possess if I pay for one download?

I humbly apologize that I misunderstood your post on the subject, I guess I am so used to seeing it from so many others that I jumped to the conclusion that you were doing the same thing.

BTW the custom "Disc" come in either "CDG" or "MP3G" data format both can be had in disc form for the same price.

Just wanted to point out, that in the drop down next to "new custom album", in addition to "CD+G" you can select USB drive, SD cards, CD Data, & DVD Data. So even if the "*Custom CD+G discs will only play in karaoke players and will not play in computers" blurb were true, you could just select another format.

...and still have a "hard copy" for security.

Only copy protection that really worked well was Sound Choice experiment with Mediacloq. Probably more that 90% of the computers absolutely would not read those discs - nor even load them. I know none of my cdg compatible drives worked at all. I did have 1 older computer with an OLD Plextor, Windows 2000 & Tricerasoft CDG Ripper that I was able to sort of get work. It took literally 15 hours to rip one 15 song disc. However the drive only lasted for 3 discs & burned out. My other drives would not work nor recognize the discs.
Only downfall and the reason they quit using it was that many legitimate cdg karaoke players that were computer based (not a computer player) on their playback, would also not read those discs.


Actually, the firmware in my QuicDisc duplicator had no problem copying MediaCloq discs for my backups.

However, that was just copying, not ripping...
