The SingMasters Karaoke System is extremely versatile and lets you add any MP3+G Karaoke songs.

MP3+G is a karaoke file format that was created to allow CD+G karaoke to be played from a personal computer easily and quickly. MP3+G was created from the combination of the MP3 audio file (the CD audio is converted and compressed to MP3) and a raw CDG file which contains the RW subchannels from the CD+G track. It was first called MP3+G in combination of various audio formats synchronized to a CDG file.

MP3+G Folder in SD card is the only place to copy MP3+G songs files.

Every MP3+G song must have two files per song, one is .cdg and the other is .mp3, if only one is present then the song will not work/play.  When renaming the songs, they need to be 100% the same, except for the file extension.  The file extension is never to be altered or the song will not work/play.

1. Rename the files so the SingMasters can recognise them and is able to make a songbook for you. Your very FIRST song will be numbered: 200001, the rest will follow in sequential order. Formatted like so: Song Number-Artist Name-Song Title Note: Dashes are hard up against the names, no spaces between. No commas at all, use words like feat or and instead.

Example:

200001-Kylie Minogue-Better The Devil You Know.cdg

200001-Kylie Minogue-Better The Devil You Know.mp3

Repeat for each song increasing the number sequentially as you go.

Tip! The best way to rename a song is to do one file first then highlight and copy the text and paste into the next file. Just be sure to not change either of the extensions at the end, the .cdg and .mp3

2. Now you can copy the songs to your SD Card. All your formatted MP3+G songs (2 files per song) into the SD Card, open the KARAOKE folder > then put the songs into the MP3G folder on the SD Card. 

3. Now you can put the SD Card into your SingMasters player, when prompted to update DB ,select YES.Once its complete,Reboot the unit and you can choose the song added using song number or title,singer search and  sing!
