Ok, so I've kinda started this interest in karaoke. The place we go only has a couple of songs that I'd consider singing.
I keep seeing these free programs to download that are for voice removal (I guess...?). One is called Karaoke Maker 2.0
I have no clue how this works. I know I can download them to regular CDs and not have the words for the screen. I also know that I have to have a special disc, CD+G, to have the music and the words on the screen.
I know I can somehow make CD+G karaoke discs on my computer.
I just have zero clue as to how to do this. Do I have to have a special disc drive for that?
And what are these voice removal programs? Is that something I even want to be dabbling with?
I figure I'd be better off just getting the CD+G music from a reliable site and making a disc full of songs I know I like, but... I'm clueless.
Any help you can give me, here, I'd appreciate.
Also, you may have to draw pictures in crayon, because I'm not very smart about computer programs. ;-)
Of course, I suppose I could just go buy discs from the store, but what if I spent $15 on a disc that only has one song I really want to sing?
I'm just a pain in the butt like that.
However, in the long run, that may be the easiest thing for me to do.
I just don't know.
Can you help me?
Thanks, Theymos!

It just so happens that a majority of music artists put their vocals in a separate channel from most of their other instruments, and all vocal-removing software take advantage of this. If a particular song doesn't do this, or it includes a lot of the instruments along with the vocals, then the vocals can't be removed automatically.
I hadn't even heard of CD+G before you mentioned it, but from what I can tell, CD+G disks can be created with any CD burner with a CD-R or CD-RW disk. Or maybe not. I've certainly never seen CD+G disks sold in a store or online. I can't find any free software for creating CD+G disks, though. This looks like the best paid one: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
