SC's site is "down for maintainance ", All Star is backing out, and - after checking Pocket Songs to replace a disc- I find that their site is also "down for maintainance ". Can't say I didn't warn you. Expect more to come.....

Yup, but music tracks only. No on- screen lyrics, which are the major concern in regard to the giants....

Must've had a change of heart as they are back up and running.

Well, their phone number still works. It's after business hours now, and I just tried it. I got a voice mail identifying it as being Pocket Songs. I also just sent an e-mail to Irv (President/CEO of PS... I had the pleasure of meeting him back around 2007, and he may be retired by now). I'll let you know if I get a response back.

I should clarify that I sent an "email" through their web form. These are notorious for ending up in black holes.

Rumor has it that an investor has purchased one of the remaining US manufactures recently. Anyone who knows how to reach Irv may wish to confirm

Since Athena did not have a way to verify she insisted I post it as rumor and suggest someone who did have the ability to verify

I just called the number I had for Pocket Songs... It is also the number for MusicMinusOne. I asked about the Pocket Songs website, and was informed that is has been shut down.

I asked, and was told that they are no longer making CDGs. If you want any of the Pocket Songs CDGs, you can go to the other familiar websites and buy up whatever they have left in stock.

Pocket Songs is no longer operating. It is just MusicMinusOne now.

More freebies for the pirates to have now with no repercussions. Harder to see how to make money in this business by doing it the right way.

There won't be proper repercussions.

The hard sellers have proven they can sell drives wide, far, and indefinitely without any fear of getting busted.
There is no way that the iRC, P2P, Torrent sharing can ever be reigned in. The pee is in the pool, and no one has the capability of draining that pool to completely remove the pee.

The ONLY people that ANYONE will come after are the KJ's and even that has proven to not work very well.

I hate adding to the speculation fire but for all we know the owner is retiring and sold and someone else will have the rights.

Agreed. Just about everything you read on these pages is nothing but speculation.
