Never mind re-inventing the wheel, just go with the standard Karaoke player, PKaraoke. It's written in Python (whatever that is) and handles the standard CDG files which are obtainable on the net or for purchase. If you really *REALLY* wanna go big big big-time, you can go for Virtual DJ, which, in addition to playing Karaoke files, can support two screens--one for the operator and one for the singer. It's expensive, though, but if you're going to be doing this for real and often, it's well worth the price. Oh by the way, it also just so happens to be the software of choice for just about everybody in the DJ business these days. It scratches, uses time-coding records for analog scratching, has looping and replay capabilities, all very nice, and is supposedly the best karaoke player for those in the biz today. http://www.virtualdj.com for a 20-day trial. And it's *NOT* very blind-user-friendly, but workable, if you're willing to work at it a bit.
