Has anyone else noticed that some of the newer Top Hits Monthly CD+G are not in-sync as far as the words go.  It might just be me, but It seems that the on-screen lyrics are lighting up way too soon on different parts of songs.  I've had some singers complain about it.  I've never had problems with THM before and it just seems to be the last 4 or 5 months of THM.

I wrote to THM, and they say that they are still doing the same thing with the same guy for the past 6 years.

Anyone else noticing the zippy on-screen lyrics?

my lady mentioned the timing was a tad bit off... but she says they "ALL" are from THM... I've never noticed a problem per se

I have been using the THM's for quite a while, and have not seen this.  Do you have specific examples (which series, month, song, etc.)?

More recently, Not as Good as I once was by Toby Keith and Wake Me When Sept. Ends by Green Day.

They're the only one that carries Rock now since Pop Hits went to Adult Contemporary so I've got to bear it until Soundchoice comes with the song a month too late.

Hi, I'm new here, but the topic caught my attention right off. I haven't noticed faster words, but I've noticed "wrong lyrics" in some of the CDs. I'm not a DJ, just a singer of sorts.
I noticed this immediately on the...I think it's the July or August 2005 rock CD. The song "Be Yourself" by "Audioslave".
In several verses, a wrong word is inserted, but since I know the real lyrics, it doesn't affect me, but it would be noticeable to anyone watching the lyrics screen while I'm singing, when I'm saying one thing and the screen is saying another.
But, I have to say that the music provided in Top Hits is right on usually.
I found out the hard way when I purchased a "Radio Starz" CD+G of a "Pearl Jam" anthology for personal use. It has 18 songs on it. I purchased the CD for a couple of songs that I love and sing, and when I went to use it, the song "Black" seems to be at a slow speed? And the song "Better Man" is missing some keyboard instrumentation, but the song is still doable. Not so much with "Black".
I think Top Hits is the best I've seen anywhere so far.  :yes:

I noticed that the timing was off with Daniel Powter's "Bad Day," so I bought that one from PHM. I usually use THM for my Country purchases, and PHM for my Pop purchases. I find the quality of both brands to be about equal.

on this month (Dec 05), I notice that when you watch the vocal versions, you definately see a lag of about a half-second
