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.

  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
  4. Go to the "Exporting" pref panel
  5. Set "Export name template" to "R - S"
  6. if you have not ripped your discs yet or bought your songs
    1. rip all your discs!
    2. buy the songs you want!
  7. make a playlist of the songs you want to export to KA
  8. Show the "Format" sort-column (Learn how to hide/show Sort Columns)
  9. Sort by "Format"
  10. Select all the songs that are not MP3 (eg: AAC)
  11. Advanced->Convert Selection to: "LAME MP3: Best", and wait for the activities to complete
  12. Sort by "Song Name", then hide the "Format" sort-column
  13. Show the "File: Zip" sort column
  14. Sort by it
  15. select any songs that do NOT have an entry under the "File: Zip" column (blank entry)
  16. Advanced->Convert Selection to: "LAME MP3: Best", and wait for the activities to complete
  17. Sort by "Song Name", then hide the "File: Zip" sort column
  18. any songs that still do not have an entry under that column are not eligible to use with KA, you can remove them from the playlist. Let me know if you think something is wrong there (remember: no movies)
  19. File->Export->Entire Playlist: All Files
  20. Pick "Flat"
  21. Create a new folder on the desktop
  22. Export to that folder
  23. Quit kJams

  25. select your iOS device
  26. click the Apps tab
  27. scroll down, select "Karaoke Anywhere" or "Karaoke Pro"
  28. in the Finder, in that folder you created, select all the songs
  29. Drag them into the "Karaoke Anywhere Documents" or "Karaoke Pro Documents" panel in iTunes
