Any good? I hear they actually read CD+G subcode..

I found a source.. Shoiuld I buy a few?

The price was ok.. 2 CD readers for $5.00  

but doesnt the winamp cdg plugin allow you to read cdg on almost any cdrom now?

I picked up 10.. That should hold me for a while..  LMAO

I dunno, but in my experience so far, the actual player must have the ability too....typically plugins are devised to add extra functionality to a program, not hardware. If the hardware supports that function, then the plugin will allow application to use it.

Some player applications will only work with certain Drives in CDG mode, whereas a few others player applications will work with more Drives, but in the end, the drive must be capable for it to work no matter which program you select.

Keith, Most CD-ROM CAN read the subcode; I just checked mine and it says it can read. And it is a non brand cdrom.

Do you buy wives by the dozen as well?

actually, www.powerkaraoke.com says that they can work with even more than your list from mtu, JD. Not EVERY one out there, but a great deal!

I have a lite on dvd rom that reads the subcode. right now since my plextor bit the dust it is my importer.   as for playing outside cdg discs I would never use the rom inside my computer for that as it will wear the rom out.  besides you need a fast computer to do so as it hangs my rackmount with the one used with winamp.  if frank would release his I would concsider as the test version uses less resources than what is available now.

<<<SNIPPPED>>> I would never use the rom inside my computer for that as it will wear the rom out.  besides you need a fast computer to do so as it hangs my rackmount with the one used with winamp.  <<<SNIPPED>>>

The rom will wear the rom out??????HUH??????

I have the CDG discplayer plugin for winamp (ver 5) running on a 500Mhz system with 128MB ram, and have NEVER had it hang up from playing a CDG disc.
