Karaoke and Music Queues
#1
I am considering modding my Xbox with XBMC to use the karaoke functions. Whenever I have karaoke parties, singers can search the karaoke music archive and queue songs up as the previous songs with lyric visualizations are playing. Is XBMC setup to do this? I haven't seen any screenshots or otherwise that suggest one way or the other.

Thanks.

XBMC can not seperate music-files with and without CDG (lyric files) in the database in the same profile, so if you want to search the library for only karaoke files then you must create a seperate profile and only have karaoke sources in that profile.

Alternative, add a "karaoke" genre tag (ID3 tags if MP3 for example) to all your karaoke files, then you can browse/search that genre.

Nor can you browse/search files in XBMC normal GUI while lyric (CDG) visualizations is displaying in full-screen, then you will have to use the web interface for that.

Nonetheless, mod your Xbox, it is worth it even without the karaoke feature. (By the way, my ex gf had karaoke parties all the time, she even got two of the Xbox Music Mixer microphones and the two Karaoke Revolution games for the Xbox, always a good time even though I refuse to sing in public).

PS! If you do get it, feel free to add a Karaoke section to our wiki:
