Edit

It can't to to hard to do I've got to do it..

You can get analogueX which is a plugin for winamp, all free. Not sure how good it is though. http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs...emover_WinAmp/

some virtual dj programs allow you to do this, you can download so many day trials on most of them, but some of them only allow a 30 second recording time.
Here are a few programs you could try:

I have used mixvibes and virtual dj in the past, and on one of them, you can disable lyrics or disable music, hope this helps

Thanks everyone.. I found I could do it using audiocity

Can I remove the vocals from a recording to make a Karaoke track?

This is possible only for certain stereo tracks. When the vocals are exactly the same on both stereo channels, you can remove them by “subtracting” one channel from the other. This works for many studio recordings, where the vocal track is mixed exactly in the center.

To do this in Audacity:

1. Import your stereo file into Audacity.
2. Open the track menu (click the arrow next to the track title), and choose “Split Stereo Track.”
3. Select the lower track (the right channel) by clicking it in the area around the mute/solo buttons.
4. Choose “Invert” from the Effects menu.
5. Using the track menus, change each track to “Mono.”

Press the Play button to hear the results. If you are lucky, the voice will be gone but most of the other instruments will be unaffected, just like a karaoke track. You can use the Export commands in the File menu to save the results.

so all done for now................(Till next time)
