# Adding songs to the disc
Karaoke DVD Burner allows you to add songs directly from CD+G disc or may use karaoke files from your hard drive.
# Adding tracks from a CD+G disc
To add songs from a CD+G disc, click the **Read CD+G disc** button in the main window, click the **Read CD+G disc** button on the toolbar (), or select the **Add Tracks from CD+G disc** command from the **Folder** menu.
**Add CD+G Disc Track** dialog box will appear.
If you have a CD+G disc inserted in your drive, you will see the list of tracks. Karaoke DVD Burner uses the FreeDB online database to display track names. If no internet connection is available, only track numbers will be displayed. You may change FreeDB settings in [Settings dialog box](https://docs.powerkaraoke.com/books/karaoke-dvd-burner/page/adjusting-settings "Adjusting settings").
If you have more than one CD/DVD drive, select the appropriate one from the **Device** list.
Mark the songs you would like to add to the DVD disc and select the way folders will be created. The following modes are available:
- - songs will be added to the current folder
- a new folder will be created and songs will be added there (this is best if you would like to organize your DVD by CD+G disc names)
- a new folder will be created for every artist (this works only for discs for which track list has been downloaded)
- a folder with the first letter of the artist name will be created (this is best for creating alphabetically ordered DVD); this mode also works only when track list is available
3. Click **OK** when ready. Karaoke DVD Burner will save the files to the hard disk. Please note that this process may take some time, as video encoding is a complex task.
*Note: CD+G tracks are kept in temporary files. If you save your DVD compilation, they will not be deleted from the hard disk. If you do not save the compilation, Karaoke DVD Burner will delete these files when closing.*
# Adding songs from hard disk with Smart Add
To scan a hard disk for karaoke files, click the **Smart Add** button in the main window, click the **Smart Add** button on the toolbar (), or select **Smart Add** from the **Folder** menu. The **Smart Add** dialog box will appear.
It allows you to scan the hard drive for karaoke songs and add them to the DVD structure.
**Folder to search** specifies the initial folder on the hard drive that contains the songs. If you would like to include subfolders, make sure to select the **Include subfolders** option. Also pick the type of files you would like to add. Currently MP3+G (pairs of MP3 and CDG files of the same name) and BIN files are supported. If you need software to create MP3+G or BIN files use Power CD+G Burner.
Karaoke DVD Burner can use ID3 tags from MP3 files or parse the filenames to determine the artist's name and song title. If you have ripped the songs with software that writes ID3 tags to MP3 files (Power CD+G Burner does this), then select the **Read title/artist data from ID3 tags in MP3 files**. If no ID3 tag is available Karaoke DVD Burner may use the filename to extract the names. Choose the correct naming template from the list below.
**Automatic folder creation** allows you to choose how folders will be created. The following modes are available:
- songs will be added to the current folder
- a new folder will be created and songs will be added there (this is best if you would like to organize your DVD by CD+G disc names)
- a new folder will be created for every artist (this works only for discs for which track list has been downloaded)
- a folder with the first letter of the artist name will be created (this is best for creating alphabetically ordered DVD); this mode also works only when track list is available
Once you click **OK**, Karaoke DVD Burner will scan your hard disk and add the files to the DVD structure.
# Adding songs from hard disk
In addition to [Smart Add](https://docs.powerkaraoke.com/books/karaoke-dvd-burner/page/adding-songs-from-hard-disc-with-smart-add "Adding songs from hard disk with Smart Add") there are two commands that allow you to add songs from the hard disk. Both of them add songs to the current folder.
##### Add Songs
To add songs from a single folder, click the **Add Song(s)** button and choose the songs you want to add.
##### Add Directory
The **Add Directory** button allows you to add multiple CDG files from a directory (or subdirectories). Navigate to the starting folder and click OK.
***TIP**: Use *[*Smart Add*](https://docs.powerkaraoke.com/books/karaoke-dvd-burner/page/adding-songs-from-hard-disc-with-smart-add "Adding songs from hard disk with Smart Add")* to add songs from the hard disk, as it automatically names the songs and creates folders.*
