Hey. I don't know the latest winamp version but I seem to recall some kind
of karaoke plugin that not only displays the cdg but also will open a zip
file.
I could be wrong or the plugin could be out-of-date.
I'll poke around a little and see what I find and I know there are some
hardcore winamp users on here too.
talk soon

hi Brett, The winamp road seems like the best way to go as you say.
The files in question will be mp3 cdg mostly.
I was just looking for some kinda player to play these files in zip
format, which would be a lot easier to choose, but I like the sound of
winamp.
Can you tell me the latest winamp version.
I'm using vista with jaws12.
Many thnks for taking the time to advise,
Billy

Hi. I have a feeling winamp is going to be your friend through this.
First of all most karaoke songs use standard mp3's with a cdg file which
is the video file containing lyrics. With winamp and a few plugins it is
possible to have everything ready to go in one shot. Plus, using the
winamps jump feature you can jump to whatever song a person wants to
sing. It's most likely going to be the most accessible way of doing
this.
I'm not sure about .kar files but I suspect they're midi files with
lyrics built-in. If this is all you have to work with the file sizes
will be considerably smaller. The advantage over the mp3 / cdg files is
that the music is authentic and usually contains backing vocals as well.
I think this is a .kar player for winamp as well. Again winamp is kind
of the standard for most people because it's so easy to use and
manipulate. The few karaoke player I have used were not accessible or
were very hard to access using mouse keys and such.
Good luck!

Subject: karaoke night.
hi guys, I have been asked by friends to be the Jock at their new year
karaoke party.
I have never done such a thing before, and I'm now in a panic.
If anyone can advise me or give me some tips on running this party, it
would be great.
The other query; I'm going to use my laptop computer for playing the
KAR tracks, and I'm wondering if there is a good accessible piece of
software to play these files?. I realize there are add ons for winamp
and WMP, but I would rather have a dedicated karaoke playing program if
possible.
Any help or advice in this matter would be much appreciated indeed,
Billy
