How to rip a CDG Karaoke disc
to your hard drive Using Cdrwin 3.9x

Note: You will need a CDG compatible drive to use this method.

This tutorial will walk you through the basic steps to rip
karaoke tracks from a CD+G disc to your computer hard drive.

First if you dont alresdy heve Cdrwin installed get it here.

Once installed open Cdrwin.

A window should open on your desktop like the one shown in the picture below

Next click the Extract Disc/Tracks/Sectors button (see picture below)

Now you should see a screen that looks like this
(the numbered arrows are explained below):

#1 - Mark the Select Tracks Option

#2 - If you have more than on CD ROM drive,
make sure the one that has the CDG cd in it is in the window

#3 - Select a folder on your drive to save the files to
(note: this walk through is burning an entire disc
and therefore named the file with the CD list number followed by
a" -" mark, the program will number the tracks as will be explained further down)

#4 - This is where the tracks on the CD will be listed for you to select from (more on that further down)

#5 - Make sure to make BOTH the RAW and the CD+G boxes

#6 - To help get clean useable rips, the general rule of thumb for speed settings is one half the maximum burn speed of your drive, i.e. if you have a 4 speed burner, rip at 2X.8 speed rip at 4X..12 speed rip at 6X .etc. (note: the author does not have time concerns and therefore always rips and burns at speeds NO higher than 4X)

#7 - Mark the Name Files Sequentially option for the program to number the tracks as they are on the disc (note: having the file name as the list number "SC2100-" then you will have finished files named SC2100-01, SC2100-02, SC2100-03 etc)

Now Click the Select All button (see arrow section #4)

There should now be black circles around each of the red track numbers listed.

Click the START button at the lower right corner.

There will be a small window that tracks the progress of each track ripped

At the end of the last track, you should get a window that says job Successfully Completed

You now have .bin files on your drive that may be burned to make a copy CD+G disc or converted to MP3+G format with MP3+G toolz for use on the PC.

You can also now rename the files from the saved format to the generally accepted format
(disc# - track# - Song Title - Singer/Artist     example:  SC2100-01-I've Got You Under My Skin - Sinatra, Frank )
