Leads vocals will also not be able to be switched on or off if you use a multiplex disc. You will be able to play CDG discs in your normal CD player but will have no way to display lyrics on a screen. If you must use a CD player, only CDG formatted discs will work. This format will only play on MP3G players. This format has the advantage of having a lot more songs on one disc compared to a CDG since MP3 files are a lot smaller than CDG files. The graphics file is what you see on the screen. There are 2 files stored on the disc, an MP3 file and a Graphics file. MP3G is the newest format for karaoke music. DVDs will typically have more songs than either CDGs or VCDs. DVDs also have a video running in the background, in addition to lyrics, while the music is playing.
VCDs have a video running in the background, in addition to lyrics, while the music is playing. This means you will only see the words on the screen and nothing else. What is the difference between CDGs, VCDs, and DVDs?ĬDGs have no video running in the background when the song is playing.

Keep in mind that you will not be able to see any words on your screen if you play CDGs in a CD player.Ī VCD (Video Compact Disc) is a disc with video stored on it so the music can be played with a video running in the background. These discs can either be played on a karaoke machine that supports CDG or in a regular player that can play CDs. It stands for Compact Disc + Graphics and is the standard format for most English karaoke discs.
The lead vocals are provided by the performer singing the karaoke song! Some karaoke discs provide an additional track that includes guide lead vocals to help you while other discs can be multiplex which allows you to turn the vocals on or off on the same track.Ī CDG or CD+G are the same thing and the terms can be used interchangeable. Rather than include both vocals and music, karaoke tracks leave the lead vocals out for you sing.
