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

Karaoke media consists of 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 disc and have the lead singers voice removed. Lyrics appear on your TV screen for singing along. CDGs are usually purchased by professionals and serious Karaoke enthusiasts.

VCDs usually have 11 songs per disc and are multiplex which means you have the choice of having the lead vocal on or off. 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 CDGs 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.
