Copy and record a mix of Audio and CD+g tracks

Don't see the rational in saying they weren't ever .wav files. That's how they started out, wasn't it?

And that's exactly what they still are.

When imported through Microstudio as .CDG,which is the file extension for a CD+G compilation, they remain the .WAV portion(CD) of the CD+G. The +G part (graphics ) is missing. That's why a blank screen will still pull up when playing, but the imbedded audio file is still .WAV.

That's the way I read it.

Once again, thanks for all the great help with my original question about the ability of Microstudio to burn a disc with CD+G and Audio files on the same CD. With the information this forum provided, I went back to my "old" program (CRDWIN) and I was able to burn a mixed CD by selecting cdg for both types of files. While it works using CDRWIN, Microstudio has much more to offer, so I plan on getting it for my future use.

Thanks,
Wes

I imported the same track from a normal Audio disc two times. Once it was imported as Wave and then it was imported as CDG

The Wave was 37,329 mb
The CDG was 38,853 mb

They weren't the same size

We've established that only the CDG file will be useable when Compiling a Karaoke CD+G disc.

If you use your computer to search the Audio disc for wave files, you won't find any.

Wave files have to be extracted as Wave files, they don't exist already on an Audio CD

Anyway I think that I can show that these files quack and walk more like CDG files than wave files (they're even called .cdg)

Just the opposite. They quack and walk more like .WAV files. Either the quack or the walk is missing as there are no graphics, and to have a full blown cdg you must have graphics, don't you? They are not cdg's in the accepted form, they simply have been assigned a working cdg extension.

They are audio tracks functioning as pseudo cdg's minus graphics.

Probably we're both partly wrong inasmuch as it's obvious they are not cdg's and perhaps not wav's either in their usable form.

Anyway, that's why they have chocolate and vanilla ice cream

Gonna move on, this thread purpose has been resolved anyway.

Take care,

George
