Beavis,
thanks for the response, but I discovered the problem a little bit ago.
As it turns out, my drive doesn't support CDG, i thought it did, but I was mistaken. I installed a Plextor that is recommended, and it worked fine.
I was just about to dump the 30 discs I have now ripped, and my buddy says, hey , let's play one of the bad songs and see what happens.
I was floored. The lyrics played almost flawlessy. I don't get it. I just installed the drivers for the drive, no other software, and now the lyrics play fine.
Like I said, now I''ve seen everything
