Hey Community, has anybody actually had success converting from CDG to MP3G?

Yes and it is easy, sorry taking so long to give an answer. Just follow the instruction book. There is a USB port on the front of this karaoke player that will take a USB flash drive. Also you can use a FAT32 formatted external hard drive to store your karaoke music.

The songs are files that (zips) that have to be converted. That' the difficult part. Converting them after you've loaded them to disk. That's where I never could get any support. Good luck.

Thought of that too but not in the instructions. You can copy from mp3 to CD. So, I would try to copy from record to mp3 first and then take mp3 to copy to CD. It is still good. Get speakers and plug into back for bigger better sound. I love it with that!

I use iTunes to organize and convert my music to MP3s and then drag and drop the music into my Zen. Although if you are ripping music straight from the CD, use the Creative Media Explorer for that, it's a lot simpler and you can rip it straight from your CD to your Zen

I was able to convert several cassettes to cd and mp3 but the converter died and I had to find a different unit to finish my project. This USB unit is cheaply made and not reliable. Sorry.

If your CD burner software supports burning to mp3, it should work. If you have a CD-RW, I would test it out on that before burning to the actual CD to be sure that it works. Hope this helps.

It won't work with iTune easily. Although not too complicated, you will need to convert music from iTune format to mp3 format. iTune has the conversion function built in .

Actually on Windows, I convert my CD's to mp3 using the included Microsoft Media Player. Under the "rip music" tab in the preference you can select the format as "mp3" and dial up the "Audio Quality" to as much as 320 bps. Once set in preferences it runs automatically every time I stick in a CD. You don't need to add software to do this.For me the sound quality seem great ... but do note I am no longer a young person and my hearing is not what it used to be ... so this particular part of my opinion should be taken with that in mind.

I did not attempt to change the format. All the files I had were mp3+g and all I did is transfer them from a usb stick to the hard drive.

Hi Paul! I pulled out my user guide and it states that the unit is "not compatible with MP3 CDs." I truly hope this helps!

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Are you saying you have CDs that you've ripped to MP3, and now you want to use uncompressed versions of those songs instead of MP3 versions?If so, you'd have to start from the original CDs and rerip them to Apple Lossless or WAV (or AIFF). You can't add information to the lossey audio files you already have.In the case of music you've purchased from iTunes (or any download service), there's nothing you can do. They don't offer CD quality audio files.Obviously of course uncompressed audio takes up more space, so you might instead want to rip things at like 320Kb/s AAC, which is the best lossy format these players support.

I'm not sure. You can import, you might need to convert your mp3 to a WAV file using iTunes or Audacity first. It comes with an excellent manual.

I too had no luck with Rhapsody to go on the Sansa Fuze, after doing everything i could think of, firmware updates, installed windows updates, reinstalled Rhapsody, formatted my device. After too much frustration, i switched to Napster to go and it works perfectly. I like Rhapsody Unlimited but i need to be able to load my mp3 player up and i could never get Rhapsody to work at all with my mp3 Fuze. Rhapsody is best for those who want to listen online only, but Napster is best if you have an mp3 player you want to load up.

Honestly never tried it. It does work GREAT when manually started. Need to transfer the file to a PC or MP3 player and it sounds FANTASTIC!

I successfully use a SD card. Never tried anything else. Don't see how you could. Can you transfer your MP3/4 files to an SD card?

Huh! Figure! I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit. That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

@JohnMy old ears don't hear any significant difference between ogg/mp3 encodes, but I do prefer ogg because:* the same-sounding encodes are smaller* the FOSS angleI suspect the cheap Chinese players you mention support ogg more for the free-to-use angle than out of any great love of FOSS. Still, I take your point.
