Hi Brett, I will indeed be using different backing tracks, some will be as you mention, Midi type files, but most will be cdg mp3 type karaoke files. I will also be using zip format files, with the cdg mp3 files contained. My main problem is still getting a piece of software to play the above. A program or add on would be fantastic. Have you such a program to play zipped files containg cdg mp3 files?,

I ran across your message again and wanted to see how things were progressing. You said u would be using k A r files? SO these are basically midi files with lyrics that show up on the screen? I ask because these are different than mp3 files zipped with cdg files. Most karaoke people use zip files which contain an mp3 and a graphic cdg file. Obviously the mp3 has full band and usually backing vocals whereas the midi file has a synthisized tone generated file that uses your sound card to play. K a r filess take up a fraction of disc space but sound quality is usually not-so-great. I have more experience with the zipped cdg stuff but I'm sure I can help you either way I just need to know what your setup is. bb Brett Boyer Audio Production and voice over http://brettboyer.voices.com Brett Boyer's Big Bag of Goodies!
