Need help!!!
My son the great kid that he is, has tried to save me from buying replacement disc's. He has copied my colection of Karaoke disc's to new disc's by using a program called Golden Hawk. The question I have is, what player do I need to get to play these? and if he copied more than the original songs to one cd will it still work. ( he has copied 150 to 200 songs on a disc). His heart was in the right place but I can't play them on the pioneer players I have. Over the years I have replaced about 30 disc's at acost of acouple hundered dollars. ( I have also replaced DJ's that don't respect the equipment) Is ther a player I can purchase that will play these disc's. It's not that I don't want to buy disc's ( I buy 2 to 3 a month now) I just don't want to keep buying old disc's.

Any help would be great.

Thank you,

jvc303 and other standard cdg players have no problem playing cdrs.

if they're vcds, they can read them.

if they're dvds, then you need a dvd player. The RSQ505 dvd player has no problem reading copied media!

Thank you for your response.

I have tried them in 2 differnet players. Pioneer CDg player and an Aspire CDg DVD Cd MP3 player. My individual disc's play but not the copied ones.

Could it be that he put to many songs on each disc.

Ok....I don't know what your son did !

I use Goldenhawk to create karaoke CD's too.

Did he maybe copy the .zip files onto the disk? I don't understand how he could have backed everything up using a whole bunch 16 song CD+G to a 100 - 150 CD+G????

I know when I copy CD's, I have one CD in one drive, and the other in my Plexitor Drive (the one that copies CD+G's).

I also know that you have to make sure the CD+G radio button is clicked, otherwise you will just be making audio CD's, not Audio+Data, which waht a CD+G needs to be.

There is no problem creating discs that have more than "original songs".....I usually put 16 songs on a CD+R CD.

Look at your media that your son used.....does it say DVD+R? or CD+R?

Also, you have to make sure you don't use rewritable dicss (i.e. CD+RW) as they don't play in some players.

Can you be a little more descriptive?

Thanks

exactly... if he recorded them as .mp3gs or as wma+gs, it won't work.

A little more info please. The pioneer cdg player you're talking about works fine with goldenhawk as .bin files that are burned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have one!

Maybe that is what he did.........maybe he just put the actual .cdg and .mp3 files on the disk and expected them to play together (and not combining them to make the .bin). I know .bins are HUGE, and he would have a heck of a time getting that many onto a CD.....and I am not too sure how many .bin's a DVD could hold....

My regular karaoke player, and any other CD+G player I know of plays my burned karaoke discs....so It is definately something the son did wrong....maybe he does not have the right burner too.....

Definately need more description.

Can you let us know what burner you have as well?
