How Sunfly Karaoke works
Firstly, and most importantly: we offer our tracks in a variety of formats. The format choice will be selected once you add your tracks/albums and go to checkout.
However it does pay to know which format you need before placing the order/searching the website as we cannot always change this for you.
We sell individual Karaoke songs and backing tracks in a variety of different formats

- MP3+G tracks

As well as offering individual songs, you can also buy albums to save even more money.
Our albums are available in these formats:

Here is more information on the different format types and how they are played
MP3+G karaoke files
MP3+G stands for MP3+Graphics.
Each MP3+G track consists of two files: one file is an MP3 file which plays the music. The second file is a .cdg file which plays the lyrics/graphics that you see on-screen.
When both files are played together at the same time you have a karaoke track with lyrics synchronised to the music to indicate when the singer should sing.
All of our MP3+G tracks are 320kbps.
MP4 Karaoke videos
These are high definition Karaoke video files.
Our Higher Definition range contains much higher quality graphics than our standard Karaoke tracks, so when played on a large screen will show much clearer text.
They have a solid background black background.
Our MP4 files are 1280 x 720 pixels in size (720p HD).
MP4 tracks will play in any MP4 player (Windows Media Player, Quicktime and iTunes).
Some Karaoke Software Programmes such as Virtual DJ are also compatible with this format.
MP3 backing tracks
These are just backing tracks without any on-screen lyrics.They are all 320kbps.
When you have made a purchase, you can download your tracks from the orders area of your account. Simply click on the download button for each track, and it will download to your device.
CD+G DISC
This is the standard format for Karaoke Machines. Please select this format if you want to play your disc in your home or professional CDG Karaoke player machine.
If you are looking for audio only, i.e. for backing track purposes, a CDG disc will also play in your standard CD player.
CDG discs will not play on your computer, you will need to convert these files into MP3+G in order to see the full Karaoke track. Please use this guide for how to do this.
Any CDG from our album range which is out of stock will be created at Sunfly HQ and sent out as an official repress. In these cases the artwork will not be the same as pictured on the website.
DVD DISC
Please select DVD format if you want to play your Karaoke tracks on any standard DVD player (please make sure your DVD player will play DVD-R discs).
DVD albums (from our DVD Range) can only be purchased as the official DVD discs, and can not be downloaded. However tracks within the DVD range are available to download individually.
