Subsonic Forum

Hey,

In my music collection i got a lot of karaoke songs. It would be awesome if subsonic would be able to play the .CDG files.

There are a lot of other feature requests out there that are way more important than this one. But if you finish all those, will you please implement this one?

this may already be possible through the use of the transcoding feature.

If lame (or ffmpeg, or ...) supports the .CDG files you could simply setup a transcoder for CDG -> MP3 and voila it will play.

If you can provide a sample .CDG file I'd be happy to test this out for you.

I don't know if you know how these karaoke files work... but i don't think it's possible using just the transcoding function.

You need 2 files to play a song, one is a simple mp3 with the music (without the voice of course) and the cdg file is some kind of video, with the song text scrolling by.

I can't reach my collection at the moment, so i can't provide you with files. If you still think it's possible with the transcoding function, ill hapily give you a file after the weekend.

thx for the response

I wanted this too, Tom.. Done
