5. Them CD+G Discs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    CD+G are special CD-Audio discs which have graphical information on
them, of low resolution still images.  These are not be confused with
CDVideo discs which have about 20 minutes of video.  Unfortunately, they
are not very popular.  I have seen two discs with CD+G on them, one is
Laura Brannigan (an adult-oriented-radio, pop singer) and another is a JVC
Animé Japanese cartoon with karoake disc.

    The only other CD+G player I've seen outside of the CDTV/570 and
other computer-based devices is a JVC product in the form of a hexagonal
"tower", in grey colour.  It had an onboard mixer for microphones and mixed
karoake CD+G's with your voice in the mike.  I don't see why people
wouldn't buy a normal LaserDisc player...for the price the JVC people were
asking.
