Re: Downloadable Karaoke Songs

I have tried burning them to a CD but at times only get the music and not the text file. Sometimes I don't even get the music. I can't figure a way to get them into Hoster without using a CD.

I downloaded them in WAV and MP4 formats, but either way I can't get them to work. I downloaded them to this Laptop and not my Show Laptop. I then moved them to my Show Laptop via a Flash Drive.

Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Show Laptop:
Dell Inspiron 1545, Pentium Dual Core, T4400 @2.2GHz, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium W/Hoster 4.20
WAV is audio only so no lyrics on screen.
MP4 is made for I-Tunes, so you need the codec for this format installed. Search for the K-Lite full pack of codecs. I am pretty sure that one is in there. This is a video format, so must be added via the Video button from hard drive on the main screen or Imported from hard drive as a video to add permanently.
Your best bet is to download them in AVI format as that is pretty much universal and will play in Windows Media Player as well as Hoster.
