Why can’t I see lyrics from my iPod on my Karaoke machine?
The music downloaded does not have a graphic file to support lyrics, so there are not words to see. Many karaoke songs offered on iTunes do not support graphics for lyrics; this type of karaoke is music with the vocals removed. In order to see lyrics and hear music, the karaoke file downloaded from iTunes will need to have a MP4 or MPEG (video file) extension. There are websites that offer MPEG Karaoke videos for download, as well as software that can convert CD+G CDs into MPEG files. Consult a software professional for the availability and application of these programs.
Why doesn’t the Karaoke application for my iTouch/iPhone show lyrics when docked to my Karaoke machine?
Currently downloaded applications do not support video output from these devices.
