So what are karaoke bacing tracks?
Karaoke is singing to pre-existing songs. You are replacing the original lead singer. The background music and supporting singers are left intact.

What is the difference between regular CDs and Karaoke CDs?
Karaoke is simply singing to existing recorded songs. The difference with karaoke media (CDGs,VCDs and DVDs) is that the lead singer’s voice is removed but the background voices and music are still present.

In short, if you want to sing a Garth Brooks song, karaoke media removes Garth’s voice and you sing in his place. Karaoke media consists of Laser Discs, CDGs (Compact Disc plus Graphics), VCDs (Video Compact Discs) and DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs).

Laser Discs represent older media. All the above media is a standard CD size of 5" except the Laser Disc which was 12".
CDGs usually have 15 songs per each disc and have the lead singer’s voice removed. Lyrics appear on your TV screen for singing along. CDGs are usually purchased by professionals and serious karaoke enthusiasts. Lyrics appear on your TV screen for singing along.

VCDs usually have 11 songs per each disc and have the lead singer’s voice removed. The difference with VCDs is that the lyrics that play on your TV screen are shown on top of a short movie created for that song. These are also purchased by professionals and the serious karaoke enthusiast.

Each form of media requires that you have a karaoke compatible player. When purchasing, please check your player manual for compatibility. You can play CDG's in a normal CD player but you will only hear the backing track (the words will not display on your TV screen unless you have a karaoke player).

What should I buy?
Most of your choices will be based upon the level of enthusiasm you have for karaoke. Higher levels of enthusiasm warrant higher quality equipment and media. If you have an existing player, reading the manual will let you know the type of media it will play. Usually, your karaoke player will play the CDG karaoke format. CDGs have no lead vocals, are more expensive and usually associated with the serious or veteran enthusiast.

What are starter or club packs?
Normally, you would purchase karaoke media as a single disc. For the serious and professional KJs, this would be cost prohibitive. Manufacturers assemble their own multiple disc packs to save you money. As with other products, the more you buy, the cheaper each one gets. Usually, manufacturers try to respond to the market demands by assembling both the broad category packs and also specific category packs. In short, if you only intended to sing country or gospel, you would seek out packs specifically for those categories.
