What is the difference between a soundtrack and karaoke CD?

A soundtrack is an audio recording that accompanies a film, television program, or other work. It typically contains music, sound effects, and dialogue. A karaoke CD is an audio recording that contains only the instrumental backing track of a song, without the lead vocals. Karaoke CDs are used for people to sing along to, with the words of the song typically displayed on a screen.

Here is a table summarizing the key differences between soundtracks and karaoke CDs:

| Feature | Soundtrack | Karaoke CD |

|---|---|---|

| Purpose | Accompanies a film, television program, or other work | Used for people to sing along to |

| Content | Music, sound effects, and dialogue | Only the instrumental backing track of a song |

| Use | Typically listened to passively | Typically sung along to |
