These song files are shared between users of certain newsgroups and IRC channels, though there is a great learning curve to overcome for those who are not familiar with such methods. It is possible to locate and download virtually every karaoke song ever produced. The player products read each file and synchronize the information to display the interpreted graphics along with the music. The digital audio portion is compressed to MP3 (the MP3 format was invented by Fraunhofer Society MP3.) and the RW Channels (CD+G graphics CD+G.) are stored to a CDG file. MP3+G is created by extracting the CD-Audio packets from the CD+G disc with a CD-ROM that is capable of also extracting the RW channels from the disc. MP3+G is derived from the CD+G format and the CD+G disc format invented by Philips. Microsoft first unofficially adopted the WMA+G for use on the XBox for the XBox karaoke product. MP3 and WMA became the most popular audio format used for karaoke and therefore MP3+G and WMA+G became the most popular formats used. It was first called MM+G in early 1996 where it was a combination of various audio formats synchronized to a CDG file. The name MP3+G was first used by Gai Marcos and Steve Gray in late 1997 or early 1998 to describe the format.

MP3+G is considered the de facto standard of karaoke on the PC and was created from the combination of the MP3 audio file (the CD audio is converted and compressed to MP3) and a raw CDG file which contains the RW subchannels from the CD+G track. MP3+G is a karaoke file format that was created to allow CD+G karaoke to be played from a personal computer easily and quickly.
