pmistry

You know I watch TSN Sportscentre every day here in Canada, and all I hear about baseball right now is the signing of big free agents and the trading between them. The Yankees and Red Sox are waged in 1 hell of a war of out dueling each other.

Karaoke Conversion

EuriMouse

This is possible a little off the topic of this board, but I would like to know if there is any software available to convert original mp3 files (songs) into karaoke versions, where the voice of the singer is taken out and only the music remains.

Righto, Finally got around to seeing this film and whilst I enjoyed the senseless violence in the form of Mechwarrior and the fact that Nyobi flies one mean hovership I thought it should have been longer and taken the time to explain some things further.

The 'another' thing :)

Hipshot
