Burn Karaoke disc

Hi Christopher, I have the same problem. Wish they had the "Power CD+G Burner" for Mac; apparently it works great for PC users. If you find a solution, please let me know.

Do a web search and you may find a solution which has developed in the 3 years since the other posters last posted to this topic. 😉

Thanks Limnos; I've been all over the Web searching with no favourable results. Friends who have a PC, say the Power CD+G Burner works great for them. I've even tried a Mac product called Kjams, but had no luck with it.

been searching myself to create my own cdg for use in universal karaoke players. Kjams appears to offer the most hope for all I want to do. although there's something new now called Aria which promises to do a bunch of stuff for 79 $. Otherwise, all that I want to do as listed by the original poster, would cost me Kjams lite, plus the burn plug in is extra, plus I'd need the kjams producer as I would be building a cdg by adding the synced lyrics to something I've removed the vocal from, on Audacity program. if I go with Kjams, those 3 softwares, it will cost me 150, while I'm so jealous all those PC karaoke singers have free software for karaoke they can download.

I've been buying my cdg discs at 1.99 a pop, but they don't have special songs I want to perform. Aria for Mac might just do it all but I don't need the "scratch" sound they are pushing. that makes me steer away from the software.

experimenting with the Imac 10.6 idvd movie quicktime might work. I made a few cdg but have not tried them in the club karaoke machine yet. I added the lyrics to tuneprompter which is a free software that lets you add and sync the lyrics to the music with the spacebar. thats fun. but it's all in experimental thing so far. I know Kjams does not let you add lyrics and sync them yourself. you are supposed to import cdg to kjams that are already available and pay for them. in this case I want to find my own special tunes. good luck to you. there's one other thing but it's expensive. buying software which turns your mac into a windows platform by partiioning it and you start up in one or the other. that's also about 100-150 software.

Laffinrain2, I know I'm late in getting back to your response. Sorry. You seem to have been doing your homework, and I hope they come up with the software PC users can use; that would be great! I'm into another set of problems to do with "burning" issues. Good luck. Kiddo

Install VMware. Virtual to windows xp and burn away.

Job done

VMware? will work on Mac 10.6 ? thankx will check it out. just discovered another prob. air borne dirt seems to have gotten into the disk portal entrance, so have to get a cleaning disk to put in there and see if that works.

using kJams:

1. stick in a CD-R
2. make your playlist
3. file->export->Entire Playlist: all files
4. when it asks, pick “flat”
5. navigate to your CD
6. click export
7. in the CD, if you see any zip files, double click them to expand them, then delete the zips
8. now eject the CD to burn it

you’re done!

My question precisely. In Burn, the standard option is :UDF But then there are these options,

HFS+

ISO 9660

joleit

UDF

HFS standard/joliet

Joliet 103 Characters or whatever

Or do you need specialist software to meld the two files so you can replay on, for exapmles cdjs, so you can actually read the words off of a screen while listening to the track, cos that's what it's all about…. (oooooooohhhh the hokey cokey, lol).

Be great to find a decent easy answer on all this before sat night if that's poss. THANKYOU if you can help. xx

@ christopher rigsby 1 - i don't mean to be rude, but re-reading your response is strange, is it that, at the end of the day, you just don't know? Is that right?

It ails me to have to use Parallels on my Mac to burn CDs, but honestly, it works extremely well, and is about a THIRD of the price of trying to go the Mac OS X route. Plus, it is a single program, and no monkeying around with burring drivers (which cost extra, etc.).

you're aware that kJams can burn a data disc with karaoke (see my previous response above) and that it can also burn a real CD+G disc?

all on the mac? just google kJams.
