That is indeed an useful extension of the present data.

Particulary I never thought about this application: :-)

<karaokegroup language="dutch">
<karaoke timestamp="0:02.80" text="Als een maagd, ">
<karaoke timestamp="0:12.50" text="voor het eerst aangeraakt etc.">
</karaokegroup>

a kind of 'subtitling' for songs.

What solution do you aim for minimizing troubles?
I remember problems with a swiss site being closed down.

- Having an cdindex server with extended capabilities (thus having
karoke fields in the database)?

or
- Lyrics data only on dedicated karaoke servers in secure countries
(like Holland and Russia) that look up the CD ids and other
stuff from available CD Index servers and add their karaoke information?

> I hope you guys support the idea.

Van mijn kant zeker.
