Penn, you can't get less expensive than $46.00 with shipping from newegg for an internal!!
! There is even a USB 2.0 Conversion kit I've seen for as low as $60!!
Not too shabby!

Hello, I am new to the whole Karaoke/PC thing and have a quick question. I am trying to read a Karaoke CD+G CD using my CD-RW thatt came with my Dell Laptop. However it will not pull up anything as if it were a blank CD. Can anybody give me some pointers as what to use to be able to read these CD's? Currently I have installed PowerKaraoke and it tells me to convert my CD+G's, but I can't see them! HELP ME!!!! Thanks in advanced... Suthern Comfort |

Sounds like your drive isn't cd+g compatible. I'm betting you can probably play it as an audio cd, though (just the music and no words). To be able to use the drive to play cd+g's, it needs to be one that the manufacturer says will play cd+g (most Plextors are good for that). Maybe you might want to look for an external Plextor player/burner? Will P.S. Try looking at the Dell website for info on the drive (just to make sure). Most Dell's won't come with a cd+g compatible drive. |

if you go to www.goldenhawk.com and look around, there is a file or section that tells you what exact burners are compatible for cdg... if all else, contact the makers of powerkaraoke and ask them! Matt |

I think the best way to go is a Plextor external. I had an internal Plextor on my old computer and just recently got a new HP Media Center. The CD/DVD combo drive that came with it dosen't read CDG (Ididn't think it would). For temporary use, I ran a CDG player through the TV card that also came with the computer. I decided to get an external rather than transfer the internal that I already had. Now I won't need to worry about interchanging machines (ie my laptop). I think the others will agree that Plextor is the best for CDG although there are probably other brands, maybe less expensive, that will do the trick. |

Not shabby at all  . Never thought of a conversion kit. I could have salvaged the internal from my old klunker. Too late now.
