Today I discovered funny way to get karaoke from N900. (Accidently discovered this)

I was listening to usual Bollywood songs using headset (WH-205). In between, I removed head set for adjusting properly and again put it back to device.

By mistake, I did not insert jack inside the device properly. Still there was approx. 1 mm - 1.5 mm to be pushed. After this, media player was playing songs with vocal muted (not completely)..Initially I thought something wrong with media player and 2-3 times I rebooted device. (What a fool I am..!!!).

Later on, I realised that I did not put the jack properly. But, I could now listen karaoke of songs with vocal muted. Vocal is not completely muted but result is similar to some of free softwares (AnalogX) which generate karaoke.

Tried this on few of the songs and this trick worked. There is no way we can store that karaoke in same device (offcourse)..may be somebody can try recording that karaoke songs by connecting output from device to sound recorder.

You will have to adjust headset jack little bit to get this effect. This trick will not work for all the songs..it depends upon how vocal is recorded in that song. This trick did not work with my other mobile and ipod for the same songs.

can you tell me the song name (also bitrate) so that I can check on my phone and also with other songs. I have tried with few songs, but this didn't work

Hey. It works. it works. Thanks! Ya you should put just 1-3 mm of gap. It worked for me on Dil Toh Baccha hain ji song from the movie Ishqiya and well almost every other song. amazing discovery!

I was playing "Teri ore" song from Singh is King. Bit rate was 224 kbps. You will need to adjust headset jack to get this effect...

It works on every other nokia phone ive tried with a 3.5mm headset jack..So aint nuthn new..besides i wouldnt recommend doing that time and again since it might mess up ur jack.
