Please check the following:
(1) The karaoke files are in MP3+G format (.mp3 file + .cdg file.) VirtualDJ does not support .kar MIDI files, .bin files or playing Karaoke directly from the original CD+G discs. If you have original CDG discs, you will need to 'rip' them to MP3+G format, or purchase karaoke in MP3+G format directly from on-line karaoke vendors. To find tools for ripping MP3+G, please search Goggle for: rip mp3+g
(2) The files have been named correctly - The .ZIP file (If zipped) and the .MP3 and .CDG files contained within it must all have the same name, e.g:
ABBA - Dancing Queen (SF123-01).zip
|- ABBA - Dancing Queen (SF123-01).mp3
`- ABBA - Dancing Queen (SF123-01).cdg
(3) If zipped, the .ZIP file is not corrupted or is using non-standard compression. Some older karaoke ripping software produces corrupted .ZIP files that VirtualDJ cannot read. If you have trouble loading a .ZIP, simply extract its contents and then rezip it again using the .ZIP support built-into Windows XP and above (Right-click -> Send to compressed folder) or MacOS (CMD + click -> Create archive)
NOTE: With today's large hard drives, zipping is not really necessary.
NOTE: On a Mac, please ensure that you do not have too many ZIP files in the same folder, otherwise they will not be displayed. Most KJ's usually organise their collection by disk number (E.g: /Karaoke/Sunfly/SF123, /Karaoke/Sunfly/SF124, etc.) so this is not usually a problem.
(4) You have added the files to your VirtualDJ database. To do this, use the VirtualDJ browser to browse to the folder where they are located, right-click on it and choose Add to search DB
(5) You have not disabled the display of karaoke files - Click on the eye icon (Or bullet button in VirtualDJ v6) to the far-right of the browser search bar and ensure that karaoke is ticked.
NOTE: The full VirtualDJ Professional http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html is required to be able to play videos and karaoke full screen. All other versions are limited to a small window only.
NOTE: If you have video karaoke, there may several versions of the same track on the disc, i.e: With lyrics and without, with vocals and without. Make sure that you rip the correct version from the DVD.
