Karaoke Support
Virtual DJ Studio now supports Karaoke. You simply load up a Karaoke MP3 just as you would any normal MP3 file. If VDJ finds a .cdg file of the same name in the same directory, it will load the data and use it to display graphics.Click Here for detailed technical information on VDJ's Karaoke Features
If your Karaoke music is in ZIP file format (a ZIP file containing a MP3 and CDG file), VDJ will play them directly -- no need to unzip them. VDJ does not create temporary files from the zip -- it handles them directly. So there is no delay or extra CPU usage when loading a zip file. This feature is quite unique to VDJ.
Additionally, if an image file is inside the ZIP file, VDJ will use that as a custom background (displayed behind the lyrics) for that file. This can be used, for example, with Christmas, Halloween, or other special-occasion songs.
You can choose to rename your ZIP files to KZ. If you have a lot of Karaoke ZIP files, often Windows will become slow when viewing the directory containing those files. This is because Windows XP likes to look inside each ZIP file, to determine what is inside. By renaming your ZIP files to KZ, Windows will no longer attempt to look inside, since Windows will not know that the file is a ZIP file. VDJ treats KZ and ZIP files identically.
