Error 9 Message During Playback: Cause and Remedy

Cause

CompuHost imposes a limit of 128 characters for the full pathname of each MP3+G file. The pathname is comprised of the entire filename including the entire folder path. As an example, the filename "C:\Karaoke Songs\SC8101-12 - Sinatra, Frank - My Way.zip" is made up of 56 characters, well within the 128 character limit. However, if the user utilizes embedded folders with longer folder names, this limit may be exceeded, thus generating the Error 9 message.

Remedy

To remedy this error, the entire path/filename must be reduced to 128 characters or less. This may be accomplished by using shorter folder names and/or embedding less folders.

Also, if placing the files in your "My Documents" folder, the pathname can get EXTREMELY long due to Windows XP applying user information to the path name. For this reason you should simply create a separate folder, directly off of the root. Example: "C:\Karaoke Songs\", and place all ripped files in this folder.
