CDG · 3 Words
CDG · 3 Words breaks lyrics into 3-word lines — the tightest, punchiest pacing in the CD+G lineup. It's the closest match to how classic karaoke machines display lyrics — built for fast, syllable-heavy songs where longer lines would run off screen. It exports a standard .cdg file that plays on real karaoke hardware.
