Thanks for the tip! I had a look and Sing-it is still there, but has not
been all that actively developed. To be fair, it is still moving along
though. There is an additional library to allow playing of CD+G formats,
but still nothing that I saw can handle digital <Audio>+G formats, the
most common being MP3+G.

I'll just have to keep looking for now. I'd really love to be able to
have a truly professional digital karaoke package that runs with Fedora
- even if it were closed source at this point. I guess that may mean
continuing to bother Tricerasoft.

Other ideas are certainly welcome!

Cheers,

Chris
