How to Burn Karaoke Songs With a CD Burner

Find out how to compile and burn karaoke CDs.

Burning your karaoke songs to CDs lets you take the show on the road--you can play them in any disc drive that supports Compact Disc plus Graphics (CD+G) format. And because many CD writers support CD+G format, it's likely you won't even need any additional equipment to burn karaoke discs. And while burning your karaoke songs to a CD is just about as simple as burning a standard audio disc, there are a few essential differences in two processes.

Things You'll Need

• Blank CD-R

Instructions

1. Check your CD burner's specifications to ensure that the burner support CD+Gs. Run your CD Burner's model number through an online search to get the drive's specifications or search for the specs on the CD burner manufacturer's website.

2. Download and install a copy of a freeware karaoke CD burning utility, like Power CD+G or Microstudio (See Resources). Launch the program after the installation process has completed.

3. Compile and sort your karaoke tracks by dragging and dropping them into the karaoke utility's interface.

4. Insert a Compact Disc Recordable (CD-R) into your computer's CD burner. Use only CD-Rs, as Compact Disc Re-Writable (CD-RWs) are incompatible with the majority of karaoke machines. Select the karaoke utility's burning option to being authoring your karaoke disc.
