Karaoke Software for Windows

Does anybody use a Windows Karaoke player to play cdg or kar files? If so, which program do you use?

Thanks,
Chris

For some reason I downloaded one called Karafun a few years ago. 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.

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.

+1 karafun good luck

Or if you want a professional CDG/MP3 program, get Power Karaoke's Siglos. There is the individual or KJ version for running a whole show. I have used it for years and they are top rated.

Thank you. 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.

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!

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.

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 ...

Tony glad you are mixing it up..... As an entertaining performer we use all the tools in the bag. Wtg..

this is what its coming to?..
so glad I was able to experience PRE Computer age performing live Music years ago...
