To play CDG discs (such as the custom discs you can compile on this site or our standard compilations), you need a karaoke player. You can buy one of these from us (see the hardware section) or from many high street stores (such as Toys R Us).
Some computers may be able to play CDG discs with special software, but we neither supply nor support such software. Consider purchasing a download if you want to play karaoke on your computer.
You can play your downloads on your computer with Windows Media Player (WMV files) or with iTunes (MP4 files). You can play your downloads on iPod or on most Portable Media Players (WMV OR MP4 - check your device instructions for more information).

We (currently) provide our downloads in two formats, WMV and MP4.
WMV (Windows Media Video) is the format used by Windows Media Player and many Portable Media Players. MP4 (MPEG 4) is the format used by iTunes and the iPod video players.
If you have an iPod or run a Mac, you should pick the MP4 format to download. If you have a Windows Media based Portable Media Player or run Windows, you should pick WMV format.
Of course, you can play WMV files on MACs and you can play MP4 files on Windows and some Portable Media Devices support both WMV and MP4, so it’s not quite that straightforward!
If you aren’t sure, try downloading just one or two tracks (you can download the content once in each format) and see which works best for you.
your player can support both it’s worth noting that WMV files take up a bit less space on your hard disk or in your Portable Media Player.
We generally ship hardware and CDG discs out within 2 days of receiving the order. You should expect to receive your goods within 10 working days.
