MP3+GMP3+G is not a real standard, but its become a "de facto" standard for karaoke files when played with computers. Essentially, MP3+G is a combination of two files -- one is a regular MP3 audio track, while the other one is a CDG file, typically ripped from a CD+G disc. The "+G" part provides the graphical content for the playback, which in most cases means the lyrics of the song.
Virtually all computer-based karaoke playback tools support MP3+G.

I have been doing karaokes now for around 11 years and only last year upgraded to running a laptop based setup.
DO IT!
The days of lugging around a huge case of discs and stacks of equiptment are SOOO gone.
There is loads of good software to convert your current collection into MP3+G format (search on google).

Totally with discoguy on this one!
1. Get a laptop
2. Get some speakers and amp
3. Get a "KaraMp3" set from their website
4. Advertise your NEW Karaoke Business!
Anyone can do it!

Karamp3 sounds good but what happens when the music on those discs goes out of date? where can you find new MP3+G songs very cheap?

I am really interested in doing this. However, I am getting, what I am going to call, computer noise from my amp. The only option I have is a patch cable from the headphone jack of the laptop to my amp. I am getting a lot of hard drive noise and typical computer processing noise. Is there a way to output audio from a usb port or is there a way to filter the computer noise coming from the head phone jack? I thought it was maybe the amp that I was using, but it does the same thing on my home stereo. I tried using my sony psp for karaoke and it worked great, but the screen was a bit small. Does anyone have any ideas?
