Plextor PX-712A Drive...

[Scott Parr]

Hello everyone,

First of all, I'm looking forward to using kJams! It's only a few times each year that I have a Karaoke show but when I do, I'm tired of lugging around discs. I've used a Mac (MacBook Pro) for my DJing and finally can get rid of discs for Karaoke too!

I've been loading discs/songs for a day or two and everything has been going great.

Two things...

First of all, many songs the "swiping" of the lyrics to follow along with is noticeably off with timing. I've "ripped" Pop Hits Monthly CD+Gs and Sound Choice CD=Gs and seen it on some but not all songs.

Secondly, my drive has a problem all of a sudden. It was working just find but now, put in a disc and it isn't spinning. No disc/data shows up in kJams to edit/rip. I put an audio CD in and it spun showed up in iTunes just fine. My Mac shows firmware 1.0 If this needs to be updated, I need a source and directions please. I've searched but it's not too clear as to what I'm downloading, then what to do with it.

Thank You All!!!

Drive is working again... I had a couple of months of Pop Hits Country (Nov & Dec 2006) that just will not read.

I still have questions about the timing/syncing of the words (graphics) to the music. The "swiping" is lagging on many songs. I never noticed this when playing from a CD+G player.

Thanks again!!!
