Karaoke Query

Karaoke Query. This should be simple enough, as I'm sure we've a mobile DJ or something similar in the group. Let's say I needed pre-recorded music (without vocals) for a popular song to be played at a wedding. Then let's say that I found said song on a Karaoke CDG. Would I be able to stick said CDG into a standard issue CD player and expect to hear the wordless tune?

Yes.

In short, yes. CD+G will work fine in a regular CD player (it's designed to).

Mind you, most karaoke CDs are simply low-rent recreations of the original tune, and not derived from the original recordings or anything. And they often have backing vocals inserted.
