On a downloaded karaoke mp3 sometimes the song title is not shown. eg. legends81cliff richard-08 when downloaded and extracted. Both files read this. If I rename both files legends81cliff richard-08 it'll be me as this is the song title, why when played through winamp only the music plays and the cdg graphics do not appear? But if I do not change as from what its states when downloaded, they both play ok. |

what I do is make certain that any double files have the exact same name... copy EVERYTHING from before the .CDG or the .MP3 and then on the other file, highlight everything before the period and the extention... and paste the corrected info. |

ok just wanna make sure you have the Winamp CDG plugin and have it turned on... also if it is a sporadic problem it may be that the CDG part of the file is corrupt and winamp isn't playing it... the naming convention you are using looks fine so I would put the blame on the unzipped file especially if it works on some files but not on others... just something to look at- tig |

All the cdg plugin does is look for a cdg file with the same EXACT name as the music file and it's got to have the ".cdg" extension. Make sure this is preseved when renaming. It will work with mp3 wav ogg etc, in fact you can replace the music file with the original artist mp3 or wav.. Assuming they have the same tempo throughout the only requirement is that the music has the right cue point. With software such as Cakewalk the music delay can be set for the proper start ponit.. |

unsure... but winzip is free as far as UNZIPPING things. You can get that from the net. REZIPPING things requires either a paid version of winzip, or mp3toolz, etc. I rename all my files all the time... I just do what I told you to do, and I never have a problem |

Winzip shouldnt be used with karaoke files Something like Mp3G+Toolz or similar should be used If the cdg file is viable it should be about 1-2 mb. Since the original cdg file works I naturally assume the renaming process is screwing it up give the whole file name with extensions before and after. If you dont see the extensions in windows explorer go to tools->folder options->view Uncheck hide file extensions check show hidden files and check display full path in title bar |
