converting cdg disks to mp3+g files

mwadeson · Post by **mwadeson** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 12:07 am

I just bought pcdj kj vrm and am looking to convert my cdg disks to mp3+g files when i read into the manual it tells me i need a seperate converter to put the audio and video file together. I don't have alot of disks to do so i don't want to spend any money to do it. Because I could spend that money on new songs instead. If someone could help me i would appreciate it.

Thanks

For a measily five bucks you can get KJripNzip. If you have KJPro 1.5 or 2.0, you can use that database for naming your songs. The website is www.kjamp.com.
Or you could use Audiograbber which is freeware. with it you either have to name with freedatabase or name the tracks yourself. advantage of Audiograbber is that you can normalize as you rip. Disadvantage is you have to go out and get lame mp3 encoder yourself as it is not included in the install and you can't zip the files using audiograbber, you need mp3+gtoolz to do that.
KJripNzip, while it does not have the normalizing feature does it all from naming your songs, encoding to mp3 and cdg and then zipping the two files together.

I don't know of any external HP drives but I use this CDG Certified External Mount made by Sony.

ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) is installed on the operating system and not on an external storage device.

I had an hp8200e that worked well, in fact still worked after I replaced it with an internal Plextor that no longer works. I gave the writer to a friend and am considering getting it back for my use.
