I don't know how to rip a karaoke cd, but maybe I can help you a little bit to understand some things.
When you use cdg files you need two files. One sound file like "some_song.mp3" and a lyric-file like "some_song.cdg" pycdg will look for a pair of files with the same name but one has the cdg extension and the other the mp3 (or an other sound format) The cdg file contains just the lyrics and is only a few Mb large Tim schreef: > Hello valiant PyKaraoke developers, > > I just bought my wife her first karaoke CD which has 6 tracks with > vocals and the same 6 tracks without vocals.
