Karaoke Songs - Where to purchase and/or download

[michaeldpotter]

I did some searching, and I couldn't find a topic on this, so I'm starting one. If I missed it, please feel free to point me in the right direction.

I bought the Power CD+G Burner software, and it works great! However, I am having a hard time finding places to purchase and/or download songs.

I'd be happy to maintain this topic and build a list for people to find places to download songs.

If you know of a place download songs, please post it and I will add it to the list. Just a name, url and a brief description would be great.

I had to remove the link from your post, as you apparently did not check it. That site does not provide MP3+G files, they use their own format and require their own software to convert it.

MP3+Gs are available from the following site:
http://www.karaoke.cc/

They sell Zoom karaoke in digital format.

I have downloaded several songs from them recently and used your software to burn them to disk without any conversion.

They offer a free sample song here

Can you download this trial and give it a try, just to make sure I'm not mistaken?

Thanks!

You are correct and I was wrong -- there is CDG file included. They must have changed their policy, as they used to distribute MCG files instead of CDG.

Excellent. I will add them back to the list then.

Thanks Piotr!

Hi,
I read with interest that you can burn CDG's from Cavusa's songs database. I downloaded the test file indicated and unzipped it.
I do need some help or clarification (I am new to this software).
I have the Power CD+G burner program.

How do you use this to burn the disk? There are 3 different file types.
I select the CDG file, burn and I only get audio.
The MCG is a Cavusa format, so I can't select that.
The MP3 is just the audio.

I'm a little lost, how do I get the audio and video together to burn properly. Am I missing something?

I have burned/copied regular CDG's with no problems.

Interestingly, the Player will play the original CDG file properly but I believe it is associating another file with it.

I want to burn a disc that will play in a regular CD+G karaoke player.

Please let me know how you accomplish this with a little more detail. I would like to do the same.
Thanks in advance!!!

Dingo.

dingo, it may be that your burner does not support CD+G burning. Please email us a log file created by Power CD+G Burner. It is cdgblog.txt file located in 'C:\Program Files\Doblon\Power CD+G Burner' directory. This will allow us to find what the problem might be.

Piotr,
I have Emailed you the file as requested. Please let me know what you find.
Sincerely,

Piotr,
My recording drive is an External connected via USB. Perhaps that is causing a problem.

Just an update with good news, but I still have a small problem.
Piotr had me enable MMC-RAW driver and the video now comes out OK along with the audio. (Thanks Piotr)!

I am using JVC's 6+1 karaoke players and I find that on the burned CDG, if I restart the song or jump to a different track the video from before stays on the screen, causing the lyrics to be unreadable. It is necessary to be able to restart a song at times (change key, singer didn't start on time, wrong song etc..).
My regular CD+G's do not do this.

I have tried playing with several modes and combinations on the JVC player including Karaoke mode vs continuous mode. Also I have switch the superimpose mode back and forth and nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions or comments on why the burned CD+G is having problems?

When the songs are in the Power Player imported from the computer (not from the CD+G) there is no problem.

Any help, advice is greatly appreciated!

Has anyone tried to download from
http://www.buykaraokedownloads.com

They suggest to buy/use the CD+G Power Burner.

Maybe another source?

I discovered what the problem is with my bad video (for me).
Apparently, the older JVC units do not like Panorama downloaded songs. They will work on newer machines fine. I tried a Pioneer twin tray and had no problems.
I don't think that the problem is the quality of the disk. I tried both cheap and expensive disks.
The CAVS songs worked on both units.
The Panorama songs had garbled video on the JVC but worked fine on the Pioneer player.
These were all songs I downloaded from Cavsusa.com.
