Ok, first, you need to check if your drive is capable of playing or even
ripping the CDG formatted disks first - odds are good that a laptop drive
won't be able to do this - but if it is, you can play the disks directly
using suitable software.
Obviously, if it isn't, you will need to either use a full sized pc with a
cdg compatable drive (usually this means plextor, but there are others) and
convert your existing disks to cdg+mp3 format - or rely on the generosity
of the members of the alt.binaries.sounds.karaoke ng to post the disks you
have already formatted in that state.
In either case, you will need a player for the laptop. that ranges from the
expensive but preferred WinCDG package, to the free winamp package. winamp
can only play the encoded (mp3+cdg) files, while WinCDG can also play the
CDG disks directly.
http://www.karaokeplayground.co.uk/ is a good place to read about the
software available, and has a forum where you can discuss any problems you
may have making that software work.
