[Slowhand] Non EC related - music software question

[Hubert Orbons]

Hi folks, 

Does anyone know of any software that can be used to separate the 
instrumental from the vocals on CDs for burning to a CD etc ?   Some 
blues songs in particular have great instrumentals but less than 
pleasant lyrics.   As a result I don't play them with some of my family 
& friends.   If I can convert these to an instrumental version, I won't 
totally miss out.

As an after thought, wouldn't it be great if an instrumental version of 
CDs were included, like a bonus CD/DVD you see often these days.    No 
extra recording is required, just leave out the vocals in the mix, so 
the cost would be minimal.    Could be a large market here to improve on 
the usual instrumental elevator music around the place.

Cheers,  Hubert
