I am soooo pissed off.. I am not big into piracy, I won't mod my Xbox, I buy my games out of respect for the work that is put into them but MS has really pissed me off.
I got Music Mixer from my girlfriend for Christmas, we both enjoy karaoke.. only to find out that not only does it not allow for karaoke CDs, but won't even let you play regular karaoke tracks, you have to buy them from xboxkaraoke.com for $2 a song. Even this I wouldn't have a huuuge problem with if MS custom made the tracks or something, but they are just copied straight off of regular karaoke CDs and tweaked a little to become proprietary .krk files. It even lists the company that made the original track when you go to download them. This is just a lame blatant money grab by MS, you are already buying the Music Mixer software and then you are forced to buy the karaoke tracks?!?! This is ridiculous, I am outraged. Especially at $2 US a song... the price is ridiculous.
Just needed to get this rant off of my chest and to recommend anyone thinking of buying Music Mixer for it's karaoke aspect to rethink it.
