CD/DVD drive problem
CD/DVD drive problem
Hello, I have a MacBook and I'm trying to rip some CD+G discs into kJams, to convert CD+G to MP3+G. It didn't work because my Matshita DVD-R UJ-857E drive would not read CD+G. Please let me know what CD/DVD drive I need to get my MacBook to be able to rip these discs. Or if is there any other option to get my karaoke CDG into my macbook. Thank you ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080M: some MacBookPro's have these built in!! (check the MBPro BEFORE you buy so you know, it's rather random which drive you'll get if you just order the MBPro online)

LaCie 16X DL

Sony DRX-510UL DVD-R Works for ripping. Burning has not been tested yet.
Does NOT work for Sure
Many "Matshita" drives don't read or write (many mac laptops have them)
Discs burned with Pioneer DVR can can be read by other computers, but not real karaoke hardware.

Another user just wrote back telling me the 1040e works fine. Actually it said "1040e" on the box but it actually comes up as a "1040d".
so it's the "D" that works, but they're putting them in "E" boxes??
YMMV

MB Pro Drives That Work
I ordered a MB Pro back in Nov 07 and it came with a HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N drive which also works just fine.
:)
Tashmoo: does it burn discs that will then play in real karaoke hardware?
