Q: downloaded karaoke songs from itunes store don't display the lyrics

Hi - maybe you can help me... I spent $20 downloading karaoke songs from the itunes store but they don't display the lyrics on the karaoke player... i initially burned them to a disc and they were in AAC format so i converted all of them to MP3 format but I realize they somehow need to be in MP3-G or CD-G format most likely in order for the lyrics to be displayed on the screen...how can i do that? Thanks!

    DJ Osswald,

     

    The tracks labeled "karaoke" in the iTunes Store are only instrumental backing tracks in AAC format.  They are not actual karaoke tracks.  They do not have lyrics, and cannot be burned to the usual CD+G format that a karaoke machine will accept.

     

    If you want actual karaoke tracks,  go to a specialty online download store such as www.buykaraokedownloads.com .

    @ed2345 - Thanks for the information.

     

    I just bought a new karaoke machine and dragged all my old CD+G discs out.. but, was hoping I could download some +G tracks from iTunes. I'll keep my ear out and will try to post back if I discover anything new.
