OK, I have a disco ball and I have chips and dip. I've even hooked up my computer to my stereo and microphone! Now, all I have to do is get some karaoke files.

1. What's the best format for these files? Are the *.kar files better than *.mp3 or *.vcd?

2. Where's the best place to find these files?

3. What's the best (freeware) program to play the karaoke files?

You can find tons of ZIP files on WinMX that contain both an MP3 track and the CD+G file that displays the lyrics. There's a plugin for one of the popular media players that does it. I forget exactly how it all works now, but a friend of mine is heavy into that stuff. I'll contact her and find out what you need to do.

There are also several karaoke-oriented chat channels on WinMX where people are more than happy to help you get started.

My friend hasn't gotten back to me yet. I think WinMX karaoke enthusiasts generally follow the convention of prefixing "(CDG)" or "[CDG]" to the filenames to help other users find them more easily.
