Is there a way to convert a CD+G to an MP3 + Lyric file so that XBMC can play it??

Can I copy over just the lyric information directly from the CDG and add an MP3 of the song myself?  

Thanks!

xbmc plays regular mp3 cd+g files without converting.
you need to do search and read the different threads on this subject ... and get latest builds of xbmc and enable karakie feature and enable mic.

CD+G
(aka karaoke) A special disc disc format in which simple graphics and text are stored in the subchannels of an audio disc, but you need a special player to read and display this information. The data in the subchannels cannot be copied with most current systems or software.
