I was confused by the fact that
you heard only the instrumental while playing the song on your CD player.

i listened to it first on a regular CD player and indeed all i heard was the inst. trax,
If you are satisfied with the notion that this initial listening was flawed some way (eg. your speakers were improperly balanced, etc.) then the recommendation of converting from l-r to l-l (or r-r) sounds perfectly right.
I was concerned that you might be experiencing something similar to DVD karaoke, where l-r (left channel-right channel) is not an issue. I do the l-r to l-l with a freebie program called Diamond Cut, which came with a dinosaur cdrw that I bought 5 or 6 years ago. I think Cool Edit costs slightly under an arm and a leg!
If your initial listening
was not flawed, then you can still solve your problem by Recording
what you hear into the computer as a wave file. Surprise, surprise Diamond Cut also lets me do that. I'm sure you can find some freebie program that will let you do this.
Not Bad-mouthing Cool Edit, which I'm sure is a Raaaaaad program. I would just hate to say that your only solution to this problem is an expensive program. Last time I investigated this program it was 2 to 3 hundred dollars. If it has changed to a $39.95 wonder than I apologize.
PS. "Hold on there Bubbalouey(sp?)" was a favorite saying of a cartoon character that I used to watch. I hope no offense was taken since none was intended.
