How to get words back on Karaoke Mp3 files

[KittyBass]

I´ve downloaded a load of karaoke mp3 files thinking that when I burned them to disk they´d play in my dvd player that´s cg+g compatable. If people convert them to mp3´s what´s the point if you just have a  backing track? Is there anyway I can restore them to what they were with words on the screen? I got some real gems I´d really like to sing at my local karaoke haunt.

According to this page, no.

It seems once the track is converted to mp3 any other information is permanently lost

Thanks for the link, that´s a real bummer. Then those aren´t  ´karaoke´files anymore, they´re backing tracks, aren´t they?

Perhaps if I try downloading a karaoke track in a different format , such as MPG, that would work. I was all excited to them out this weekend, too!
