WMP plays karaoke files?? Yes it does with this plug in https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89149 I am playing a mp3+g file as we speak. ALL credit goes to Holler not me, I am just updating this forum. Plays bin files as well apparently, not tried that yet but a remarkable discovery, eh? Hail Holler again.

Great find!!

even more exciting it the fact that this will play midi+g karaoke files as well as mp3+g, wma+g.

So for those REALLY obscure songs (or for anyone who works in foreign language countries) we can use midi files for the tracks that are hard to get. Yeah, the sounds not great, but it's better than having none.

And it means, for me, that there will be not more 'Den Pao Poothena' every night of the year (the only Greek song anybody ever seems to sing)

Nice one oxo...just off to download now....

Downloaded....ok how do you get it to run? Cant find anything on the release notes.

Tried tweaking settings I'm using media player 9....any suggestions?

just double click the .cdg file attached to the mp3 and it'll play. or drag and drop the .cdg file into WMP

runs like a dream (though I'll still probably use winamp as you can feed this out to another telly)

Yes, thats all you do, use the cdg file and make up a playlist and away you go. It has crashed on me only once since last night when I got the hold of it. Agree with johnnapig, I will still keep Winamp until I get used to WMP but, as I said, it plays tracks that Winamp won't for some strange reason and also the broken grapkics on some discs are not as fragmented with WMP, try it and see. on the other hand WMP will play the dat files of the race discs that winamp5 won't play.

.bin files played no problemo. cheers oxo and holler

yehaw.............got it going....i was dragging the audio bit over !!!!

well done chaps.

hey nice one.........has anyone found a decent zipped up player yet....or am i being too greedy ???lol..

Think it was mentioned on the forums a while back...."dot and lilly's" or "Sax and dolly's "something like that....never got the link to work though

As you may or may not know those clever xbox hackers have so you can play media player on an xbox. Dont know if this update will work with it but it could be one of the first steps to a portablish cheapish mp3g player. And as you can know upgrade the hard disks in them you could carry aroung 160gb of mp3g in a little xbox for around the £200 mark.

oh my word - what a cracking idea, tommyd2. You can get modded xbox's all over the place, cheifly on BST.

Anyone know if XBox's have dual output? (ie, you can prep up on one screen whilst outputting the cdg window to another?)

oh, and it's sax n dottys show hoster, or something like that

Sax and dottys show hoster is what plays zipped up mp3+g files, works well and worth the money for the registration code but zipping files can degrade them. Will have a look into the Xbox route and its specs but the laptop or even a cube pc might be better.

What a great find, thanx peeps.
I have now set my mp3 files to open with winamp and the cdg files to open with win media so I get the easy choice.
Thanx again, best post for a long time.
regards
Rob

cheers oxo just downloaded it and works a treat:D

fantastic find oxo - will still use winamp though.

i just down loaded the plug in from the site, question what version windows player do you need and where do you install the download file thank you
charles

Awesome find, for some reason I get an error with the winamp plugin, but Windows Media Player 10 works flawlessly, just pop in a cdg and it starts playing without a hitch!!!
