Get Help & Advice on Installing & Using Karaoke Software by Power Karaoke

I would like to see the ability to play a music bed during the announcement screen (I have done this for years, using Winamp and the cdg plug-in). This keeps the energy up. No silence. I play an instrumental/song intro, and I keep it at about 20 seconds, to give the singer time to run up to the stage.

Siglos Karaoke Professional has a fill in list which is what you are describing.
fades in and out automatically between singers. you can preset a specific time, or as i do it, just have it run till i hit start.
