KaraokeAnywhere

kJams works with Karaoke Anywhere

You can rip your songs from your discs, then export them in a "Karaoke Anywhere" compatible format. Note it only works with Zipped MP3+G files, not with movies or other audio/video formats.

Also, KA is set up in such a way that it is NOT POSSIBLE to have two of the same song that are from different albums. If you try to do that, one will over-write the other. So don't try it!

1. if you have not already, install the LAME MP3 Encoder, then restart kJams
2. go to preferences->Importing, set your "Audio Encoder" to "LAME" (preset: "Best")
3. Check the "Zip files when ripping" preference
