David,

Sorry your question got lost in the shuffle. Our apologies from across the pond.

What type of karaoke files did you download? Do the files have .bin or .cdg extensions? That being the case perhaps all you need is Microstudio to burn them to a disc.

The quality of the media is very important to minimize graphic glitches when burning Karaoke discs.. Recommend you see if you can get Mitsui media if at all possible. If not, stick to a well known barnd such as Verbatim.

Hope this helps.

George

David,

To be very honest I have had no experience with MP3 based CDG files and cannot give you an answer. I just don't know if they will play as is, or need decompressing, or what.

Rather than operate on guesswork and lead you down the garden path, will defer to anyone able to jump in and help you.

George

David,

I sent you an email explaining how you go about putting
CD+G / Mp3 files in a PLayer useable format.

check your span filters to make sure it didnt get trashed
you basicly need a 3rd party program to convert the CD+G / MP3
files to BIN, then you can use MTU's Microstudio to write it to a disc.

Thanks for jumping in. Had a feeling the MP3 had to be decompressed but wouldn't have bet my life on it, never having used them

Might help others if you gave a full explanation of the procedure here also as long as it does not involve mentioning a competitive type product. That's how we "share the wealth" on the forums.

Hey George
I can't see any reason not to mention products which convert mp3g to cdg as MTU don't provide support for this kind of procedure, and a lot of us are constantly coverting stuff we can't get through other sources.
This is not the same as as mentioning competetive products, but I do notice even MTU don't mind as long as we are slagging them.
We all use a variety of products to benefit from the products we do use from MTU
I know you have a liking for Goldwave and Virtual Sound Canvas, both products we have all found very useful and only benefit us.
I personally have been helped over the years from your very sound advice so please don't see this as criticism.
Regards from across the pond
Garry.

Hi Gary,

You must have missed that part of my post, or perhaps it's badly worded

Hope you are doing well,

Take care,
George

Actually I believe it would violate MTU rules of the board thats
why I didnt post any product names as to a description of
how to achieve this, its actually pretty simple

1. convert CD+G / MP3 file to BIN
2. Burn to a disc using MTU Microstudio.

If you enable private messages, I'll be glad to send you the
name and link to the program you need for step #1

Private messaging has been enabled right along. I checked to see if something had changed that, and it is still checked...

I imported a .WAV file into an audio editor program I use called Goldwave, and the option to convert it to several other formats including MP3 was available, so I figure the reverse would be possible also if I had a MP3 file.

If you don't mind, I would like you to P.M. me though, just to make sure it still works.

Thanks,

George

Hey All,
There are lots of programmes to convert wav. mp3, wma, ogg, etc. in both directions.
A lot are freeware.
There is even a limited facility in windows XP.
None of these involve the graphics element found in cdg. mp3+g, bin. or zip.. which make the products that are able to convert these type of files more specialised, and more relevant to us.
MTU have, however, always stressed that converting files rather than importing them as wav. leads to distortion because of the way these files have been compressed and there may be trouble with sync.
I do these conversions and accept any limitations that implies.
I am usually happy with the results.
I have for instance every Sunfly from 1- 232 approx 3500 songs on 13Gb.
In their uncompressed cdg format they would take up 95Gb
Speaks for itself
Regards from across the pond.
Garry
