Post subject:  SCDG importing to COMPUHOST?
Does anyone have any experience importing SCDG tracks from disc to a laptop running karaoke software? I have a bunch of SCDG discs and do not really know where to begin.
Thanks!

SCDG's are a different animal and you need a special ripper to deal with them.
I have Chartbuster 1-6 on SCDG and I had to get Roxbox's file converter it is available at:

it's $39 but worth it if you need to rip SCDG's

I second that suggestion. I imported a bunch of my SCDGS using Roxbox file converter as well.

Worked like a charm. I use Siglos, but it can convert them to files you can use with any hosting software.

Thanks a lot for the help, guys! I have a bunch of SCDGs so the $39 is definitely worth it to me! 8)

The only downside is that most SCDG's rip out at only 128kbps. Still, you can't beat the prices.

So does that mean that the sound quality is inferior?

I have never noticed a difference nor have the customers when compared to regular CDG rips. I usually make my regular rips at 256, I didn't even know these were 128, but they sound fine.

That all depends on what you are comparing it too. Technically a 128kbps rip is inferior to a 256kbs rip, yes. Yet superior to a 96kbps rip. :P

Basically it just won't have the same "punch" or sonic clarity. Now, if you were to listen to an A/B comparison back & forth from 128 vs 256 of the same song in a studio or with headphones, would you hear the difference? Some will, some won't.

But in a noisy bar over a PA? Most probably will not not be able to tell...although there are those who claim to have "golden ears" that can always tell the difference.

BTW, this discussion is a lot like asking "which oil is better" on a mechanics forum. Everyone has an opinion!!!

Also in many cases the song in particular.

The above is all true and very well stated.

Not that Bazza needed my affirmation...I just haven't posted in a while. :D
