So you want to be a Rock Star?

Don't copy that floppy: The system won't take in songs that are not on factory stamped media. Jeph and Myk are attempting to make a rig to create one-off stamped audio media, but it's not clear if this will be a solution.

As good an excuse as any to hunt down the original Bubblegum Crisis soundtracks.

If the rig makes one-off copies, then Noah will lend his set for copying. (At reasonable rates... say, a copy of the base hardware for Stellvia...)

If the rig stamps the originals, then you'll have to find another set...

The principal issue is that it pretty much spits out anything that was burned to CD-R/DVDR... there are suspicions it has to do with the console's anti-piracy measures that they didn't disable via hardtech before 'waving the system, but one effort to duplicate the setup with that done failed spectacularly badly.
Most of the effort with making a setup that creates "factory style stamped media" is creating the one use master, without handwavium involved, that leaves the "original" intact... and the chance that the system might not accept even that if the music was in a digital file to begin with. The effort is proving a lot more expensive than was anticipated, compared to the original setup.
If they get it to work, they'll gladly accept the Stellvia library in exchange for building a setup for the station.
