File > Import
when you make a cdg karaoke you will have 2 files
Choose the corresponding mp3
eg:
A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash - CB5050.mp3
A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash - CB5050.cdg
RB will automatically load the CDG file
I created a CDG using Karaoke CD+G creator and it only outputs a cdg file.
Real band won't recognise the cdg and if I import the origonal mp3, nothing happens.
Have I missed something?

Nah, the midi is for triggering hardware changes and syncing with a beat synced guitar pedal so the change events need to be transmitted.
Ok i played around with KaraFun and you can have a midi file and a wav file played at the same time.
So you should be able to save the triggering midi and render the songs to wav or mp3
and then add them to the library in the editor.
There is a button on the player that lets you choose both audio sources or just one
You will need the Studio version of KaraFun.
So you have a few options now.

The problem i have with the methods above (using the notes, or comments screen) is that i have to look back and forth from the lyrics and chords screen when you need a reminder, and can get lost easily. All it takes is to look up and make eye contact with the audience and then the next verse starts and i forget the first word and then i hesitate for a split second and i am behind and off the flow of the song.
So rather than use those screens i use the big lyrics window. This requires that i use .kar files rather than regular midi files for the song base. They are midi, but have embedded lyrics. There are hundreds free on the net. If i can't find a .kar file for a song i make one. add audio tracks to a .kar that i do not like the sound of, and or type in the lyrics to follow the music.
It really is easy and worth it. Less confusion, and places to find quickly when needed.

These are all good suggestions however I was quipping when I said I'm too old to remember.I remember quite well actually.I think the key is,if you're playing in public, to not get used to following the bouncing ball.I have a lot of songs as most do.Having the words and chords makes it much easier if I have a request for a tune that I haven't played in awhile but I do make an effort to memorize as well.

John you are right on, but add one more layer, that is how often do you play? If it is 3 nights aweek, like you currently do, it is easier to get the songs in your head if it is once or twice a month it is a lot harder. I too am working at learning songs better, but it is a lot of work.

Yes very true Rob. If you only play a couple times a month and have a job, family, friends etc. learning all that music then becomes just another chore and ruins the fun of playing out. Me on the other hand have no job,family or friends so I have all the time in the world.

Aw John we are all your friends! I wish sometimes i had just a bit more time to dig in. I go thru stretches where i can concentrate and get a lot done, then life jumps up and bites my backside!

I am still living in RB 2009.5 land. Has lyric entry gotten any easier (other than notes or comments) in the program? I only use it for recreation so I would like to have the bouncing ball feature. I would like to upgrade but only if there is a significant improvement in lyric entry.
Good suggestions folks. I will definitely try a couple of them.
Thanks.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
