We don't have a document that we make public that lists 'discontinued' discs. You are correct, though, that if you check the downloadable digicat, the discs that are missing are likely to be discontinued.

One major note: because we have discontinued the disc and no longer manufacture it does not mean that it isn't available through retail outlets. Most of the time there are still hundreds of copies out there in the retail channel sitting on the shelves. Seek and ye shall find.

This is a much, much appreciated service.

Regardless, I couldn't care less if you owned stock in Sound Choice, $5.95 isn't a bad deal to replace broken discs, especially since most of the time they break because of something that the KJ did to it.

Eaten alive? By you? Not in this lifetime.

Let me tell you a little story, sad but true. When I first started at my karaoke job, the bar used to do $1000.00 in bar sales on a REALLY good night. Now, we make $2100.00 on a really crappy night. Best night ever? $3400.00 in bar sales. Now, I admit, I cannot take credit for all of that, we have one hell of a bar staff. But I can take credit for making Rita's one of the most successful karaoke businesses in Northern California.

None of this, of course, changes the fact that you are still a moron. It amazes me at all that ANY karaoke company is willing to replace CDG's. Does K-Tel do it? NO. Does Musicland Do it? NO. Does ANY MAJOR CD MANUFACTURER DO IT? F*** NO (you idiot), so why do karaoke companies do it? I don't know, but thank God they do.

Now before lowlifes like you were on this forum, it was jam packed and really exciting. Now look what YOU have created.

It does seem reasonable that SC would replace a disc for 6 dollars, that might make a few people less willing to make a back up copy, knowing that this policy is in effect and that they can get a replacement if something goes wrong.

Hairmetal God forgot to mention the 37 cents or so it takes to send the messed up CD to SC - I mean, if the bar you work for cranks in an extra 7 to 10 k a night, that 37 cents would kill you. I mean how can you afford to buy anything.

The "Lifetime Warranty" is our same replacement policy we've had in effect for about 2 years now - just dressed up a little nicer....One other note: as I have stated in the past whenever people raise this topic, 'discontinued' discs - by definition - mean that they didn't sell well, or they have been out for a very long time and sold through their course. (Other than obvious publishing problems, like 8125 or Linkin Park.)

Question: Say you do have a disc with Linkin Park, and that disc you changed the song from the Linkin Park to the Sum 41 song, I think it was 3311, [I had already bought it with the LP song, and I did wnat the Spiderman Sum 41, so I ended up buying the Spot, which worked for me....but]could you use your replacement program in this type of situation [Not that I need to do that, just asking]

On a good night, we can pack maybe 125 people into the karaoke area and another 75 into the bar. That's check average of $20.00 per person in alcohol alone.

At Rita's prices, that's a LOT of alcohol.

I make no apologies for my numbers. It is physically impossible to do $7000.00 where I work.

Also, why say the price will go down - that's the standard shipping and handling price, plus, what you got about 100 discs you have scratched or broken doing stupid things with, like not caring for them, or probably wearing a shirt with metal studs and deciding to wipe a disc clean with your shirt, or sitting your drunk a$$ down on a few. Why haggle over a few dollars on a thing that you would probably use only once or twice.

Hopefully, I will never have to use this service, but it is nice to know that it is there.
