Ripping a CD+G disc to tracks on your HDD using CDGFix 3 Super basically consists of three simple steps. You can also rip a CD+G disc directly to either a SuperCDG or a NEO+G library.
CDGFix 3 Super can use many types of both CD and DVD drives to rip CD+G discs. Even if your drive was not originally designed for it and thus is lacking built-in error correction you can get error free ripping. CDGFix 3 Super implements software Error detection and correction thus being able to correct errors that results from scratches and other problems with the disc and/or drive. However, if the errors are too massive the error correction can not correct all of them.
Caution: We - the CDGFix Crew - encourage you to read and understand our Disclaimer before you optionally choose to rip a CD+G disc.
To load a CD+G disc into the Project window you select Load Disc on the Project menu.
By default CDGFix 3 Super detects when a disc is inserted into one of your computers removable drives and loads the disc automatically. This behaviour can be configured on the CD/DVD-Drives Reading page in the Settings dialog.
Note: The Load Disc command requires that your computer has a working ASPI layer installed. For more information on ASPI and how to install it with CDGFix 3 Super please refer to ASPI.
When the disc is loaded into the Project window CDGFix 3 Super will by default consult the freedb Internet service to load titles and artist names for the tracks. More details on using freedb can be found at Using freedb.
If freedb lookup is disabled, or if not entry is found for your disc, you have the option of using a disc lookup catalog instead. Select Load Title/Artist on the project Tools menu and enter the disc name. Please consult the information for the Load Disc Tracks Info dialog for more details.
In order to use a disc lookup catalog you must first have one or more catalogs configured with CDGFix 3 Super. You can find information on how to do this in Configure a disc lookup catalog.
When the disc is loaded and titles and artist names are in place you are ready to export the tracks to the format you want. Select Export Tracks on the Project menu to open the Export Tracks dialog. Make you choices for the export and simply click Run to save the tracks to your HDD.
