To use a disc in a karaoke machine you will need the CD-G format, which is out of scope of iTunes. The tracks labeled "karaoke" in the iTunes Store do not have the lyrics; they are just instrumental backing tracks.

The instrumentals are .mp3 file format, and the lyrics are .cdg file format, here is a example of one of the songs I'm trying to burn to a Karaoke disc on my Mac:
Aerosmith - Don't Want To Miss A Thing, I.mp3
Aerosmith - Don't Want To Miss A Thing, I.cdg

Keeping in mind that I have both the instrumentals as well as the lyrics with matching file name with the exception of the file type, does anyone know how to burn these (using a Mac) to a disc that will work in both a karaoke machine as well as a DVD player?

This is the Windows Forum, so you might try the question over in the Mac Forum. There is probably something that will do it, but it is not iTunes.
