Ok, here's the situation. I'm experimenting with trying to create a compilation disc. I'm using audiograbber for right now and when I learn a bit more I plan on getting Power CD+G or some other better program. In audiograbber it lets you rip tracks to .bin or .cdg or .cdg + .wav or .cdg + compressed. If I want to be able to burn a disc and use it in my Karoke machine, what format should I choose? What format are they in on the original disc? What is the best format to use on the laptop with PCDJ? Thanks!

.bin is the format that most CD+G burning software uses with the exception of PowerKaraoke which will burn from Audio+G formats as well.

What format do I need to burn a disc to so I can then go play it in my Karaoke machine? What format do original Karaoke discs come in that play in Karaoke machines? thanks

Use Audiograbber and rip to .bin files and then you will need a burning program capable of burning CDG such as CDRWin, MTU Microstudio or Power CDG. Just a regular burning program such as Media Player will not work. And of course you also need a drive capable of reading and writing CDG graphic subcodes, although I believe there might be some burning software out there that handeles that function without the drive necessarily being a CDG capable drive.

Ok, thanks. Will Nero do the burn? What about audiograbber?

I am eventually going to buy Power CD+g burning software, probably soon in fact, I just want to get my feet wet first and try to make a disc with the free downloadable programs out there. After reading a bunch of comments about the Power Karaoke CD+G burning software I have no doubts it will do everything I want to do and for a reasonable price.

audiograbber will NOT do any burning! Strictly a ripping/encoding software!

I honesly don't know if Nero will work, but I do know that karaokebuilderstudio's "Cue File Builder" will work with ANY builder.

CDRWin will work in the free trial mode, just at 1x speed, but there is nothing wrong with burning CDG at a slower speed just takes longer, I would allow about 15 minutes for a 16 song disc.

Not sure if Nero will work, my guess would be no.
