Adding CDG's songs to my kma files

[ddouglass]

You do need to have a DVD burner that will read the CDG disks. Does Hoster recognize your drive as being CDG capable. ( Look under Tools/Default Drive and see if it says yes for reading them.) If it doesn't say yes then you will need another drive. You can use an external drive that connects by USB.
The popping and clicks can indicate that you need to update your drive's firmware and/or sound card drivers.
