Unless you had credits you didn't use, how did you get screwed? The cost of the original KJPro system was for the external USB drive. A drive which you still have and can re-format and use any way you like. Hardly a paperweight.

The new system does not even require you to buy a drive...you can just download them all. I am on the fence due to the new song cost, but I don't feel "screwed" by this information...just disappointed.

I guess my glass is half full. I am in the same boat, yet I don't feel "screwed" at all. Disappointed? Certainly. It was a great system that I wish still worked, but I got everything out of it that I paid. I still use Conpuhost which I believe is the "best of breed", I used all my credits that I paid for and I am using the USB drive as a backup. I re-print my books quarterly anyway.

Since you feel so strongly about it, why don't you just sell your USB drive and copy of Compuhost on eBay and recoup a good 50%-75% of that money? You can keep the songs you unlocked. That would certainly lessen the blow you feel you have received.



Actually I am very happy you posted this as I did not know they were waiving the fee, which was a sore subject for me as well. It's only $30, but it was on principle. I may take the plunge now.

what other companies are on it?

How about the fact that I spent $600 on new books with thousands of tracks listed that I didn't have unlocked that I now have no access to? I am so sick of trying to explain to people that they can't sing every song in my book that I am about to throw them out and re-print them again.

arent these all the same tracks available on Karaokecloud.com for $1.99 a track instead of $2.50?

Actually, you can buy all the songs on Karaokecloud.com for $14.99 or $1.49 a track. IF I ever unlock one, it will cost me $1.99. I don't think I will ever unlock all of them, probably more like one, maybe two. The question is which ones?

Typically, I keep 15 credits on the laptop, 5 on the backup. I have 82 credits remaining from the original 100 I bought back on May 1st. When I unlock a song from the KJMedia Pro, it's usually a song I've never heard of. It's nice not having to buy them, until they are needed.

i guess my point was they are available one at a time on the cloud for the same price and not having to spend $200.00 up front to get that price.

Here is the email I recieved from the sales team:

Thank you for your interest in the new MyKjMedia Karaoke Content Delivery solutions.

Answering your inquiry,

First, as a past Chartbuster KJ Media Pro HD user and as a courtesy to you, we'll be happy to waive the $29.95 activation fee as it applies to the new MyKJMedia KJ Media Pro service.

However, please be reminded that Chartbuster, the previous licensee of the KJ Media Pro HD program closed its' doors and ceased operations in May/June 2012. We've unfortunately been made aware of the fact that immediately preceding their closing, they were actively promoting and selling hundreds of credits to possibly unsuspecting users at "fire sale" discounts, evidently without disclosing that immediately upon closure of the business, the distribution licenses as they applied to the song selections would be rendered invalid. Consequently, the previous Chartbuster selections are no longer licensed and therefore may not be legally distributed or unlocked/purchased within the new KJ Media Pro service as administered and marketed through MyKJMedia.

Finally, regarding remaining, unused credits previously purchased through Chartbuster, all requests to transfer remaining Chartbuster credits to the new MyKJMedia KJ Media Pro system must be directed to, and require prior authorization from the applicable content licensee/provider, currently DigiTrax Entertainment LLC. You may wish to contact them directly with such a request.

We hope this sufficiently answers your inquiry.

Have a great day/evening,
Sales Team

Yep, SCREWED!!!!!
