vanBasco's Karaoke Player

What works

First, you have to install Timidity in Ubuntu, to ensure proper MIDI playback. Then install VanBasco's, the install is going without problem in English version. A few seconds later the interface will appear, and you can immediately verify that the demos are performing well, both for .mid and .kar files. I was able to browse through my folders to open new midi and karaoke files too. Detailed verification : * Main window :play,pause,stop,rew, fw, next, prev, save as * Playlist window : OK (browse, add to playlist, drag and drop between filesystem and playlist, multiselect in playlist, keys (up/down, remove song, empty playlist, play)) * Control window : OK (tempo, key, volume, save as list, use list, reset). * Karaoke window : OK (tested with one reference song in order to check synchro between lyrics and soundtrack) * Output window : OK (display, instrument only & discard) * Piano window : OK

What does not

* Main window : - upper window bar with buttons not showing. It's still possible to open the config menu by clicking at the top left corner, but a bit tricky. - magnifier icon (search the net for .kar files) : "invalid parameters" dialog box when clicking.
