Karaoke Home Producer (KHPro) allows you to add the lyrics to highlight in sync to the music and create a CD+G format file. KHPro can output several formats; BIN, KMA, and I think more but my mind is drugged this morning from back pain medicines. Read the KHPro Testimonials.

It will typically take from the length of the song to maybe 5 times the length to create a CDG format song. Thus, adding lyrics to a 3 minute song, if you know the song you can tap them in using the Spacebar in... 3 minutes. If you really goof up, stop at that point, and restart. If it takes you 5 tries before you finish, that's still less than 15 minutes, if you stop when you mess up.

KHPro does allow editing the word placement to perfection, but that takes time. Its just easier to redo it again. I assure you, each pass you will get better as you're getting up to speed on the song.

To find the actual lyrics to a song on the Internet, in Google, type in the first or second line of lyrics. DO NOT search for the song name or you'll find a zillion vendors selling that Audio CD. Most lyrics sites are out of the USA, which allows them to operate. Normally it is illegal to publish lyrics without a license, but they do it anyway.

If you add lyrics to a music (that you have bought) it is my understanding you have the right to play it where you want, but not sell or give it away, unless the other person can prove they too bought the music.

Vogone 3.201 (current version) allows creating a MULTIPLEX music file with the music+vocal on the left channel and music only on the right. When played back in Hoster, this allows you to select to hear the vocals (original artist) or not. Its the ultimate for learning a new song. You would then open your Mux song in KHPro to add the lyrics highlighting to the music. Since the two music tracks are in sync, just different content, the lyrics work identically when either is selected to play in Hoster.

Hoster also can install on 2 computers, a show system and a backup system. Hoster Lite installs on one, and as mentioned above, doesn't play tracks from CDG discs directly, and doesn't produce a Songbook.

Hope this helps in your decisions. Post here if you have more questions.
