Super CD + G is a disc file format designed to store songs for use in specially designed karaoke players. Although Super CD + G discs usually require these players, you can convert files to a more versatile format.
CD + G (CDG), which stands for CD with graphics, is a variant of the format used in karaoke discs. These discs can only be played on equipment that supports karaoke CDG playback or on a regular CD player that does not contain lyrics. To play discs elsewhere, you must convert them to MPEG video format using a CDG to MPEG converter program. MPEG is a standard video format used on DVDs, broadcasts, and many video sites. At the end of the process, adjust your audio settings. Select «Stereo» for balanced reproduction of left and right sound. Click OK to save your changes.
MP3 + G is a compressed music format. MP3 + G files are composed of a standard MP3 music file and a CDG file, a special file that contains karaoke data.
DVD players are hardware that, depending on your reader, can play any DVD or CD format. Today we can count on DVD players with universal players, but in the beginning, to avoid piracy, these teams had a limitation on what DVDs they could play. This was achieved by locking the set so that it could only play regionally encoded DVDs.
Your best bet is to immediately buy a DVD player with a reader capable of reading and playing various formats of CDs, DVDs and all the regions that currently exist on the market. Modern gadgets can be initially equipped with programs for reading CDG files. In this case, you do not need to do any additional steps. Although, of course, such a gadget will cost much more than usual.
So, let’s summarize. If your gadget does not have a CDG disc reader, then you will need to convert the contents of these discs into a readable format for the device. If you immediately purchased a gadget with preinstalled programs for reading music files in CDG format, then you can consider yourself lucky and take no action while enjoying karaoke songs.
