Ya, it does it, but not well, as you said.

Generally vocals are panned dead center in the track, bass, guitar, drums, whatever else, off to the sides, so you can take the mp3 file, reduce it down to a mono track, invert the sine wave, play it back along side the original mp3, and it will remove most of the vocals. The problem is vocals have effects like chorus, reverb, whatever else, that pan it into the stereo field, so reducing to mono summed inverted track won't remove those, so really, that is the cricketty, tin can sound you get. The remnants of the audio that is left in the stereo field and short of having access to the masters, nothing is going to remove that.

Really, there is no way. The vocal is embeded in the stereo field and almost impossible to get out with $100,000 worth of software. Karaoke is generally done with instrumentals that have no vocal track in it, usually done with someone other than the oriiginal band.

If you want Karaoke music, then look into buying that instead.
