How To Make Your Own Karaoke Disc Using Power CD+G Burner

1. Create a special folder on your desktop labeled "Karaoke". For most windows-based programs you can just right-click on your desktop, click "new" and the "folder" command.

2. Find a website that sells karaoke tracks via download. If you type "karaoke music downloads" in a search engine you will find a few sites that offers this feature. One of the easiest to use is buykaraokedownloads.com. Whatever site you use, you must be able to download the video track (which ends in .cdg) and the audio track (ends in .mp3 or .wav).

3. Find your favorite songs and download the files to your "karaoke" folder. If you choose to change the name of your tracks, make sure the .cdg and the corresponding .mp3 have the SAME EXACT NAME.

4. Download Power CD+G Burner at sites like powerkaroke.com. After you install the program, launch and select the "Burn" Tab.

5. Click the "add" button and click on the karaoke folder. Add all the songs you wanted to burn. You can fill a CDR disc with about 18 songs.

6. Insert your disc into your burner drive. Click the proper burn speed which is usually at least 16x. Click the "burn" button on Power CD+G. When your songs are done burning, eject the CD and you're done!
