Four hours, five cups of tea, and 1 bad pizza later and I have managed to put naughty words in a CDG file much like this stamper product. Stand by for cheap shareware... but first I must drink heavily.

Can't wait to try it out. I love the naughty words. Can I put them anywhere or just in the corners?

Mate, get this right and you can have your pants back.

Hmmm.
Seems like the drinking worked.

The mills of the gods grind slowly but they grind exceedingly slow on a hangover. Progress report soon.

I also cannot use this program because it doesn't do zip files. That should have been the first consideration with this software.

WHY WE ZIP OUR KARAOKE FILES

Chicken Little was standing under an oak tree one day when she was struck in the head by a falling acorn. This caused brain damage to the extent that she went about shouting the sky is falling... the sky is falling and we have to zip our karaoke files! Soon all of the barnyard animals were convinced that the sky was falling and they zipped their karaoke files. Chicken little succumbed to her injuries but on her death bed recanted the idea that the sky was falling as she realized it was only the ravings of a mad and very silly little chicken, and with that she died. ...And that is why we zip our karaoke files to this very day.

"In your Pants"

I agree with weed on this one.
You want your gig computer running as efficiently as possible.
Why make hurdles?

I recently tried to stamp one of my home made karaoke files with this software and it made the bin file unplayable. The lyrics that were normally displayed before the stamping were completely gone. All I got was a red background and the lyrics would flash for less than a second at the point where they would normally be wiped from the screen to make room for the next page. The file was made using Karaoke Builder Studio and the original plays fine as a bin file with Siglos and plays fine from the ZIP File with Sax & Dotty's Hoster.

Any explanation? Glitch?

One thing to consider. What happens if it is stolen and put on the internet for download? With your name on it it will come back to bite you legally. Yes it will show who the pirates are but couldn't you be sued for distributing it just because your name is on the track?

If I purchase an instrumental track from Karaoke version dot com or i-tunes and make a CD+G track for my own personal use and some KJ copies it without my knowledge and spreads it all over the internet; how could I be held responsible if a thousand KJ's wind up with the song? There has to be "INTENT" on my part for me to be charged with a crime. Do you really think that Toby Keith is going to be hunting me down because I liked one of his songs enough to want to sing it at a karaoke bar? How can I get into trouble if I don't make a single penny from this situation?

And do you really think I'd be putting my full name and social security number on these tracks?? I'm talking about putting just enough info on the tracks so that I would know that they belonged to me if I saw someone else using them, as in the situation described above. Let's say that I buy a brand new Chartbuster disc and rip the tracks to my computer and then stamp them with my "CODE". I then bring the tracks that I want to sing to a PC run show on a thumb drive or a CDR disc so I can sing them at the show. If I return to the show a few weeks later and the KJ is using one or more of those tracks during his show AND MY "CODE" POPS UP on the screen; I have a pretty good idea how that KJ got them. If I didn't put my "CODE" on them the KJ would have some deniability on his side. He could just say that he bought the same disc as I did and I wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Just because one of my home made tracks might wind up on a sharing site doesn't mean that I put it there. So much room for reasonable doubt in any and all of these scenarios.
