I don't know if I had one I would try it out. I've been wanting to karaoke lately. I don't see why it wouldn't. it plays my dvds that were blocked on my last computer.

Hi Alicia, Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I went ahead and purchased this computer and (Yes) this drive does work for the Karaoke discs. I am an entertainer and a couple times a month I do Karaoke shows and a lot of people bring their own discs so I really needed this function. It works great with my Karaoke programs.

Yes, it will. However, the one I received started sporadically making the CD sound garbled and distorted, like static or skipping. It was too late to return it (1 month) so now I am stuck with this worthless piece of junk.

The karaoke cd has to be a CDG (g for graphic) in order for the words to show. If it is a CDG and the words still don't show, I would check on the internet and contact the maker for an instruction book to download. Good luck!

Joyce, I have thought about doing the same as your asking here. I do agree about using some sort of adapter to use the VGA port on a lap top. I still own a CD+G player and this will hook up to it. Also my karaoke player has a HDMI connection and a/v connections. So as far as monitors for karaoke my player will work with all types.

Yes, I purchased this drive for that very reason. After researching different models, I settled on this one. I've used it to combined my favorite karaoke songs from the CD-G's that I own and create CD-G's that will play on my karaoke machine, and they play well. I'm very happy with it! You will need CD-G burning software to extract the songs from your CD-G disks to your computer then burn them to the CD-G disks that you create. There is also other software that will let you copy your CD-G disks so you can have backups in case they get scratched or damaged...

No! This will not read discs. Every single disc you put into this device will be unreadable. Spend an extra $10 and get a device that actually works. I made the mistake of buying this one. It is crap!

It will play CDs. But in order for your daughters to see the words you have to buy an actual Karaoke CD. Does this help?

The product is garbage you shouldn't spend your money on it but if you want to give it a go .. As long as it has the RCA connection it will work but if your DVD player doesn't support cd+g your not going to be able to sing along it's not going to show the words you would need to buy a DVD player that supports cd+g and at that point your already at about 80-100 dollars you might as well invest in a 100 dollar kareoke machine we'll I hope I was helpful .

NO! But..........If the Disc in question happens to be a SACD 'HyBrid' Disc, then it will play the 'CD' layer. On the Hoffman site a few guys said that their Marantz decks wouldn't read the CD layer of a HyBrid disc-my experience is the opposite. With both my 6004 and 5004 and 5001 decks, I haven't had ONE TIME where they would not properly read the HyBrid discs.

It is not directly compatible with those chips however it will play CD&G; via the USB port. You can download just about any song off the Web and play it.

You can store regular CD tracks, however you cannot remove vocals from a regular CD disk, you would need Karaoke CD+G disks in order to have the background music and onscreen lyrics

It's not a CD player, so no. The CDs you can play will depend on the CD player you use.

Yes it will play CDs! When inserted, the laptop will choose the default player like Windows Media Player or iTunes.

I really don't know for sure. I'm guessing that it follows the SPDIF 44.1/16 standard for regular CDs, but that is just a guess. I am using to connect a CD/DVD player to an outboard DAC to play CDs and it is working fine. I don't play any higher bit rate material than CDs.

I believe so. However the CD part doesn't work anymore so I cannot check. Not happy about that.

Yes. I will read/play DVDs ad CDs. It will read your Windows disk just fine, to install on your hard drive.

If you mean a drive to read cd/DVDs , then yes. It only has a flash drive .
