Torch Member Registered: 12/17/12 Posts: 770	Does anybody use a Windows Karaoke player to play cdg or kar files? If so, which program do you use? Thanks, Chris Edited by Torch (03/29/16 10:18 PM) _________________________ "You Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free." John 8:32

It seemed to work fine although I only experimented with it very briefly on behalf of one of my kids. Incidentally, the Korg PA4X reads and plays CDG files. Seems to work great. I was helping a friend set his up and he gave me a few files. _________________________ DonM

Torch Member Registered: 12/17/12 Posts: 770	Thanks, Don. I installed Karafun. It seems to work fine. I also tried out Canto Player. It does have have the Always On Top function. _________________________ "You Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free." John 8:32

There is the individual or KJ version for running a whole show. I have used it for years and they are top rated. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40,Ketron Event X Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

Siglos seems to be a good choice if one deals with CDG a lot, but Karafun would be fine for my light use of Karaoke files. _________________________ "You Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free."

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	Gary, that's not the same. VanBasco plays "midi-karaoke". We're talking about digitally recorded wav type files, in CDG format. Many have recorded background and/or harmony voices. Real humans singing. I don't use them. I figure if someone wants to hear something that close to the original, they would be better off hearing the original artists do it! _________________________ DonM

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15594 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	If I recall, they will also play .kar files as well, but I don't use them, so I really don't know for sure. And, I agree, if someone wants to hear the original artist, then they came to the wrong place. I kinda thought they came to hear me when I played the nite club/restaurant circuit.

tony mads usa Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 14377 Loc: East Greenwich RI USA	I sing with karaoke files when I perform with the female vocalist ... it's HER gig and HER equipment, and if I don't have to take my gear and set it up, I have become OK with it (it DID take a while for me to get comfortable with that) ... but people are still hearing ME sing ... it's just that sometimes I have Sinatra's arrangement backing me up ... I still prefer using MY kb and MY playing to back me up ... And OF COURSE, I would PREFER to be playing with the band ... but then, that's me ... _________________________ t.
