CDG File Viewer In Delphi 5

[TBaz]

I've searched the web as well as this site and considering the popularity of karaoke, I'm surprised that there's no CDG viewer component available yet for Delphi.

I have a number of MP3s with associated .CDG files and although I can call Winamp to hear and view them I'd like to be able to write a Delphi app to do it without Winamp.

Anyone come across anything in their travels which will point me in the right direction please?

I assume that no such component exists then?...

I don't do karaoke, use CDG viewers or Winamp but have you tried creating an interface to Winamp with Import Type Library?

I've already written a working Delphi karaoke app using Winamp and the it's CDG plug-in but I was hoping it could be done without using Winamp at all.

There is a plugin for media player available at sourceforge. "Karaoke for DirectX". I used this along with DirectX components to display CDG info in an embedded MediaPlayer Control. It works well.

Good Luck...

Thanks for that. Downloaded it and will take a look at it.

Your welcome, I can probably dig up some code (I dropped the project a couple of years ago) if you need it.
