Where to Download MP3+G Files

FAQ

• Where can I get additional help with the
file formats?

Visit http://singingmachine.com/smc-

music/ to get additional resources about
the right type of FILE FORMAT for your

system.

Helpful Hints:
The .mp3 and .cdg files are delivered for download in

a single, compressed MP3+G.zip file. The MP3+G file
cannot be played as a .zip file on a USB flash drive.
To play karaoke songs using a USB flash drive, the
MP3+G .zip file must be unzipped as follows:

• Connect a USB flash drive to your computer.

• Download the MP3+G file from your Digital
Locker and save the .zip* file to a folder on your
computer.

• Double click the .zip file to open the .zip (you
will see the .mp3 and .cdg files).

• Drag and drop the .mp3 and .cdg files to the
USB flash drive.

• Remove (eject) the USB flash drive from your
computer.

Turn on the Singing Machine and connect the USB
flash drive.

Note: Your downloaded songs can also be burned to a blank CDR/CDRW.
