Karaoke forum for PowerKaraoke (karaoke software to create, play, and burn CD+G and video karaoke)

I'm a newbie to computer based Karaoke. I'm trying out Siglos Karaoke Professional since it's got to be easier than feeding CDG's into a player.

Anyway, I have no problem ripping CDG's (using audiograbber) into MP3G's and using them with the demo.

The problem is there apparently is no ID3 tag info on the karaoke disks I have. The only info I get is track 1, track 2, etc.

Of course I can use an ID3 tag editor and supply the info once ripped. And I've tested it and Siglos picks the ID3 tags up fine.

I just can't imagine this to be the norm thor. I'm certainly not going to edit every ID3 tag for every CDG song I have.

Am I doing it wrong?

Please note, CD+G discs do not contain the title/artist info. It can be downloaded from the FreeDB Internet database, but I'm not sure if Audiograbber supports it. You may try to rip the discs using Power CD+G Burner, in which this feature is available.

Yes, Audiograbber supports FreeDB lookup.

Since I'm in a 'try before I buy' mode I just ripped the 1st disk I grabbed to create a Siglos Pro database. In this case all FreeDB returned the disk title.

I'll have to try a Karaoke disk from a different company, see how that works.

Thanks for the info. All in all I must say Siglos Karaoke Pro is a darn sweet 'Karaoke management center'. So far I'm impressed with the features

... Well, except for the issue of barfing on fill-in MP3's (which I'm sure has to be a problem on my end somewhere/somehow).
