But what about songs that you buy that are downloaded and then burned to CDG? I have examined the FAQs and emailed questions to all of the producers that offer downloads and have only seen vague and unclear responses that can be interpreted as anything from "you can only use the original download at home" to "you can convert to another media, such as CDG, but can only use it at home" to you can convert to CDG and use in public" (though I don't know any KJs who would play a homemcade CDG even if you have a receipt for the download). I did not ask or see any info about KJs purchasing and adding downloads to their play book as I am not a KJ. Karaoke downloads are a booming business in the UK and Canada. Chartbuster now has CDG downloads as well (in Beta).

Because of the lack of clarity, I (as a singer) have not purchased any downloads, but the market is certainly moving in this direction.
