OK, I've read the information about "native" support for cdg files. Except it *just doesn't work* on my installation. It plays the MP3 just fine, the video window comes up, and it remains black.
I have all my karaoke on a separate drive, and it's all unzipped mp3+cdg.
On top of this, how do I get the search function to properly show "karaoke" tracks when searching? If I choose only karaoke for search results I get nothing. What tag is it looking for? Or does it only identify zip files as karaoke?
I love many of the new features of v5, and others are driving me completely nuts. I don't want to shell out more money for another program, but it looks like I might have to in order to handle Karaoke shows.

Are all your CDG filenames an exact match to the MP3 filename ?

Gym Class Heroes-Cupid's Chokehold.mp3

They're identical... spaces, dashes, etc all match. I just double checked one that wasn't finding lyrics.
I have gone through and retagged some songs that were missing Karaoke as a genre, but I may have solved the problem by removing the cdg codec I had manually entered and then recursing the entire karaoke hard drive.
What's odd is that now when I search for Karaoke, it shows a top list of cdg files and a bottom half of mp3. Is there a way to hide the cdg's and only show the mp3's?

Select all the mp3s (for the karaoke files) and remove them from the search database.

I play all my karaoke files from .zip and this has worked flawlessly from day one. It's not for everybody tho ;)
