Does Super CD+G use the actual CD+G format or is it converted to something else? If converted, is the quality the same or less?

I am thinking of switching to Super CD+G so that I can get my 12,000+ songs (and more in the future) onto just a few disks. Will save lots of room at the places I do parties at. Sometimes space is at a premium.

Thanks.
Drive may work, but no software to back it up so far.

SCDG is NOT CD+G format. It uses MP3 compression and is far less quality.

Before you think too hard of converting, think about what happens if you scratch one. Scratching a $15-$30 CD+G disc with 10-18 songs is bad enough. What will you do when you scratch a $150-$450 SCDG disc?

Lots of folks have been duped into paying good money before they realize the loss from a single scratch can be 10x what a CDG disc is, and the quality is NOT the same.

Also, to our knowledge, these are ILLEGAL discs. The licenses for songs on them, when you compute the cost per song, strongly prove the licenses are NOT paid. I would be very careful of investing all your money in these discs and CAVS player.
