How to Make a Karaoke Music CD
- 1). Determine the venue at which your karaoke CD will be used and which songs people in the audience likely know. For example, if you are creating a karaoke CD for a child's birthday party and it will be the children, not the adults, doing the singing, then consider which television programs the kids enjoy or ask the parents.
- 2). Purchase the karaoke songs you want from online sites such as the iTunes Store or BuyKaraokeDownloads.com. Karaoke songs utilize a particular type of file, meaning that you cannot just download any type of music file for karaoke purposes. Download karaoke-ready music, which has audio and video (song lyrics) files.
- 3). Download and install a CD+G burning program. Power Karaoke (see Resources) is one such program. A regular CD burner will not work because it will not recognize the text on the karaoke song.
- 4). Insert the blank CD into your computer. After the computer recognizes the CD, open your CD+G burning program and select the karaoke songs you want to burn onto the CD. Then click on "Burn," or a similar option.
