My friend gave me a cd that he made of himself & told me it was alright to make
a karaoke cd of it, if I could. I tried autograpper & it shows bothe files, BUT the words didn't show up?? Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance

It's his own music that he wrote & performed?

Ummm... to "make a karaoke cd of it" would mean to manually make graphics files for each song, each containing the manually typed in lyrics and manually added color swipes, each file to be paired with one of the songs later. There is commercial software you can buy to help you do that.

On a cd, if that is the ultimate goal, that file gets "hidden" in one of the normally unused data sub-channels reserved on the disc. With that done, the disc becomes a cd+g, and then you can call it a "karaoke cd".

If you're ripping from a plain audio-only cd but telling the ripper program it's a cd+g, you might well be getting .cdg files along with the .mp3 files, but they will be as blank and empty as the regular cd's sub-channels were to begin with.

There's nothing automated to convert a regular audio recording to a karaoke track with accompanying graphics. That's something done by hand.

Correct, and no matter what, it's a bit of a process. I write lyrics and my buddy writes the music for them- mostly comedic... Admittedly my software ( IPE's Karaoke Master) is a bit dated, but either way you will have to type in the lyrics and sync. them. A bit of a learning curve there ( even after several attempts I have never done more than a passable job).

Thanks guys for the input & I also saw info. that a CD had to be in stero mode to remove vocals & these would be the other way to do this. I guess I didn't want it that bad as I'm a singer not a computer master. Howard

If your friend performed it himself, why doesnt he just give you a version without vocals?

Just recording in stereo doesn't give the ability to remove vocals either. The vocals would have to be purposely panned a bit left or right during recording, which your average garage band probably didn't do.
