So I've bought the daughter a DVD player style karaoke machine for Chrissie. I've also bought her Girlie Party set of discs which will keep her happy. But I'm sure there will be a time when the grown-ups (not me you understand) will want to sign along to a few 70's and 80's classics.

Question is - I presume I can download from Kazaa or the like karaoke tracks with the words on, but I've no idea what format they need to be and if it's possible or not to burn them to regular CD to play or if I need a DVD burner.

Any suggestions?

karaoke cds are in cd-g format
golden hawk technologies are one of few software which will do cd-g
