Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

My hugest apologies, when I saw you post a link to an online store I thought it was spam and reacted and removed that thread (our spam filter also prevented some of your posts from being shown.) Been busy with spammers over past 36 hours across Christmas so was a little too trigger happy and over-reacted, sorry again.

Sounds to me like the player's issue. Do you have a DVD player with CD-G abilities? My DVD player has that ability, not a well known brand so it gives more abilities for a heap less $ than the known brands who want you to pay lots more for pitiful more abilities for their so-called premium versions but are still more limited than the DVD player I bought.

One thing you can do is go into stores that sell karaoke machines and see which ones will play your CD-G.
Before I bought my last DVD player I took various CD and DVD types into the store and tried them out before I chose which one to buy. The so-called known brands turned out to be 'rubbish' in comparison to the one I found which could play all the disks. Yet it cost a fraction of the price of the known brands premium DVD players which had less abilities. It's all marketing, and the big brands will try to sell you limited ability devices at premium prices. If you want better they want you to wait until they release their next premium model for a small improvement. pfft

In your scenario, if you find a player that can play what you want, then go back to the store and say the player you bought does not do what it says it can when other players can. I am not sure about business laws in your country but in my country you would have a right to take the item back because it does not do what it promised. The store should at least restore the credit you paid so you can put that toward the brand+model you want.

hi thanks for the reply looks like i may have to try another player.. i dont have any bought cd-g to try as player didnt come with any.

when i put the cd-r in my pc and look in windows explorer they just show as cd audio tracks. however they were bunt using power +g and using the .cdg file.

unfortunatly looks like my pc drive is only one that supports cd+g when i put them into my home system bluray / dvd player it just plays the audio track (like it would a normal music cd)

my daughters desperate to sing barbie girl lol shes only 3

i did read that they should be burnt as .bin files i did try this but it didnt work at all.. .

I am glad to hear and thanks for letting us know. You should not have problems returning the item I should imagine, hopefully totally reimbursed.
£20 as a sacrifice I guess, but probably totally worth it. And I'm sure she's happy.

Glad all is sorted and best wishes for the coming new year.

I am not sure of the answer.

Are they the equivalent of mp3's? If yes, then probably somewhere between 300-400 minutes worth depending on the bit-rate of the particular songs.

Otherwise approximately 79 minutes 50 seconds worth. It's my guess this will be the more likely outcome.

A few ways to check, one is to put the CD into your computer and if it looks like a regular audio CD then that's how it will be. Open the disk on your computer and check the individual file-sizes. Keeping in mind non-compressed audio uses up approximately 10 MB/minute. And mp3's somewhere between 1-3 MB/minute.

I have never used karaoke disks. However many, many years ago Apple did have a software that could create the equivalent of karaoke song files that worked with QuickTime. These were the equivalent of non-compressed audio. AFAIK commercial audio disks that include lyrics and other metadata are non-compressed, similar to a standard CD.

According to Karaoke on Wikipedia, the earliest Karaoke disks were equivalent to VCD's which makes sense, since that is the approach Apple used. So held as many songs as a standard audio-CD. However, CD+G disks are a little different.

According to CD+G seems to be equivalent to a standard audio CD. Sort of a combo between an Audio CD and a CD-ROM.

There are also mp3 karaoke disks but I do not know if these will play in a karaoke machine because they were originally designed for computer use. Perhaps some karaoke machines can play them, I don't know.

All other googling on the answer suggests the answer is 70 minutes for a CD+G disk. Although one site suggested a maximum of 20 songs, this might have been a limitation with their particular cdg software.

With any luck, anybody who does use Karaoke disks will respond to your query to clarify.

I grabbed this from an FAQ of one site:

CDG
Used by professional KJs, this format will display graphics on a screen when used with a karaoke machine. A CDG karaoke disc will play the backing tracks in a normal CD player. (* this suggests same as a standard audio CD for length !)

DVD
If you want to play the music and see the words on your TV but don't have a karaoke machine choose this format.

MP3+G
Used by professional KJs and singers alike. The download contains two files, a MP3 backing track and a graphics file. You can use karaoke software to play the track on your computer or create your own CDG karaoke disc.

MP4
If you want to use your iPod or iPhone to play karaoke tracks choose this format. It will also play on your computer using Media Player or similar software.
