User Reviews

  • Makes the best-looking CDG files of any open source program. Fairly intimidating interface at first, but after following the instructions in the readme it starts to make sense. Versions 001a and 001b refuse to load WAV files made by ffmpeg due to header problems, but WAV files from SOX (probably other programs as well) work fine.
  • This is awesome. It took a little time to get used to it but really good when you do. What I think might be a very good feature is the ability to copy a text block including all the timings, like for a chorus, as they are repeated it would make things a little easier, but on the whole, best I have seen so far.
  • Thanks for Cdgmagic, it's excellent!

  • It would be cool to be able to have an option to have a syllable character in this program so you could divide words into syllables. This is BY FAR the best program out there :) Also, is there a way to have other options for the color palate? I can't wait for future releases.
