How To Back Up Your Karaoke CDG DiscsIt's a good idea to make backup copies of your karaoke CDG discs. They are expensive to replace and some discontinued discs may be very difficult to find. Making exact duplicates of your CDGs is a simple process if you have the right CD burner and software. CD Burner - Your CD burner must be able to read and write subchannel data. The subchannel portion of a disc is where the graphics data of a CDG is written. Not all CD writers have this capability. Some CDG compatible drives can be found HERE. Software - Probably the easiest to use software for making duplicate copies of CDG discs is CloneCD. Using a single drive, you will simply extract the contents of a CDG to an "image" file and then burn the image file to a blank disc. The result will be an exact copy of the original. This software will even duplicate copy protected discs. If you will also want to create custom CDG compilations, and/or need to create discs from MP3+G files, then Microstudio or Power CD+G Burner would be a better choice. Also see Create Custom CDG Discs. Media - Virtually any data CD-R media can be used for karaoke CDG discs. DO NOT use the ones that are specifically designed for audio recording. The main difference between the cheap and expensive CDR discs is the material used in their manufacture. The cheaper discs will not be as durable as the more expensive brand names. A word of caution! - Do not use "stick-on" labels on your karaoke discs. They are known to cause problems. Simply use a disc marking pen or regular felt tip marker to number them. |
