Agree with the prior post.

THere is no way that anyone who has already bought 5000+ songs is going to be interested in whole disks anymore as they will mostly contain a lot of dups, with the exception of new releases, and even then if to get the new releases you shop with more than one manu, you are going to get a lot of duplicates.

I am willing to spend 1-2$ a song but not 1-2$ for a 5 songs I already have and 1-2$ for 5 songs I dont want just to get a song or two. Unless they find a way to sell songs one at a time with either custom disks or downloads SC is dead.

I think the problem with soundchoice is the US laws and problems with making a legal karaoke product means that most of the cost of producing and selling a karaoke disk is legal and royalties. The result is that the company that makes legal karaoke will begin to be domininated by lawyers and bookeepers not musicians. That is where the knowledge is needed for running a company most effectively (from the profit point of view) because that is where the costs are.

Unfortunately with a company balance sheet (and Board of dirrectors) dominated by legal/royalty issues dealing with making of the product, then they may begin to use their knowledge for other aspects of the business such as piracy.

What we have is a company that was forced to look at the market as a leagal environment. They have chosen to deal with the problem of piracy using thier training which is dominated by a legal and bookeeping viewpoint. Certainly it is a lot easier to make money by suing a pirate (many are so obvious) than actually making a product.


Dr. Fred;

Please send your mailing address as soon as possible. You appear to be in dire need of a snow shovel however it may already be too late.
