The CDG ( .CDG) file format is a type of lyrics file used to display and store synchronised lyrics for karaoke presentations. The file format is part of the DART Karaoke Studio software package, a popular karaoke software used by professional and home karaoke singers around the world. CDG files are related to the .MID and .KAR MIDI files, and act as accompaniment for MIDI music files.
The CDG file format has the ability to store graphics which are altered during the playback of the song. This allows the user to display colourful backgrounds, such as images or video clips, whilst playing a track. It can also be used to display scrolling lyrics in sync with the song. This helps singers keep a constant eye on their performance when singing along with the music.
File information
The CDG file extension is a binary format, containing both audio and visual data. It uses an uncompressed MPEG-1 audio layer 2 compression, generally used in storing audio CDs or music videos. Since it utilises MPEG-1 it is also possible to play CDG files on media players with support for this type of file format and is suitable for both Windows and Mac OS operating systems. CDG files are supported by KaraFun Player, Happy Karaoke, OkeOke.net and other karaoke programs.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CDG) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CDG extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CDG file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CDG extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CDG extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CDG file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CDG file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CDG file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CDG file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CDG file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
