Yes! The CD32 and CDTV both play CD+G (Karaoke CD) fine without the FMV card,
as soon as you insert the CD, it goes t the normal Audio CD screen, after you press play it goes to the Lyrics scren within 3 seconds or so.
I heard it mentioned in a number of magazines that the CD32 can Play Video CD and CD+G with the FMV card installed, which I thought was weird, because the CD32 does not need the FMV card to play CD+G.
