PyKaraoke
PyKaraoke is a karaoke player which supports the CDG (MP3+G, OGG+G), MIDI (.KAR, .MID), and MPEG formats. The project consists of a GUI frontend and separate pycdg, pykar, and pympg player modules. The GUI provides a full application frontend, with playlist functionality and a searchable database. The pycdg, pykar, and pympg modules can also be used as standalone command-line players or imported into any Python programs that would like CDG, MIDI/KAR, or MPEG playback.
