Names on hard drive

[lenskaraoke]

I bought a external drive and when I put a cdg in I get the full listing for that disc on kjams but when I try to store it in my external herd drive I am only getting track numbers. Is there a way to get the names on the hard drive.

what do you mean "store it in my external hard drive"?
I mean *exactly* what do you mean?

When I copy the tracks from the disc to the hard drive

[dave]

how, exactly, do you "copy the tracks"?

[lenskaraoke]

I put the disk into the drive and when the disc appears on the screen I double click the disc, when it opens I highlight all the tracks and hit "control c" then I place the curser in on open file on the external hard drive and hit "controle v"

You understand that by doing that you are only copying the music portion of the CDG? You are not copying the graphics. Also, you are copying them as AIF files (uncompressed) and not as MP3, also you are not getting any metadata other than what is in the file name (tho you *should* be getting the proper file names, ie: if the track is "03 Desire.aif" on the CD, it should say exactly the same on the hard drive when you paste)

What I think you really want to do is use kJams to rip the songs, that way 1) You'll get the CDG graphics, 2) you'll get MP3 (or whatever compressed format you want), and 3) you'll get all the meta data (artist, album, track number, song title, genre, year). You can set kJams to rip to your external drive.
