will a plextor be best, also if i get a plextor i`m gonna be getting either a new one , 40x upwards or a plextor cdrw/dvd-rom combo drive, will all plextors ripp single tracks+bin files, as well as copy entire cd+g`s and read full disks as well as single tracks and bin files, i want to be able to convert mp3+g tracks to cd+g , cheers

Yes

get a liteon dvd-rom £33
and a pioneer 105 from www.overclockers.co.uk For £117

£150 will read and rite karaoke excellently
that way you can put all your mp3+g on to dvd-r
and still write karaoke bu have the ability to write dvd-r films or karaoke

the problem is that getting a plex or a yamaha was once the only way to write cd+g
but now they have both decided to stop making cdr writers
so you are stuck
1 of the good things that used to be good aout plexs was that there aftersales was spot on
if you had a faulty product u got a replacement
but what will they replace it with if they dont make them anymore???

So just to ge this straight, the Liteon dvd-rom will rip cdg tracks?

I have Liteon dvd reader 16x and pioneer A05 neither will read cdg
with cdrwin latest version the tick box for cdg is not avalible on the A05 it is but it comes up saying cant read audio at certain sector, On audiograbber 1.8.2 both come up with aspi errors even though i have tried aspi layers from 4.6 to the latest. So the people who say ther do could you tell me which software, aspi layer,OS and exact drive model

Plextors rock!!!
