How to Copy a CDG

A CDG CD is a karaoke CD+G formatted CD--or CD plus graphics format. To copy a CDG, a regular CD copying and burning software application, such as Nero or Alcohol 120%, will not work. Only the audio portion of the CD will be copied to the new disk. Use programs like CloneCD, BlindWrite and Disc Juggler to back up and burn copies of an existing CDG.
