The Microstudio software will do a wonderful job of burning the CDG's. I have used other programs such as Goldenhawks CDRWin program, but non of the other programs are as precise and consistent as Microstudio. As far as a burner, you ony need a single Burner, such as the Plextor 48/24/48a. If you get this software and equipment, you should be well on your way. The Karaoke Suite that MTU sells is second to none and really the best value around as far as playing, editing, customizing, and recording your CDG's on your PC. Good Luck.
