How do I change song pitch/key?

While a song is playing, the home screen of the web interface will show a transpose slider. Slide it up or down based on your preference and press the "ok" button to restart the song in the given key.

Some downloads have higher/lower volume than the rest. How can I normalize the audio?

You can try the normalize command line option pikaraoke --normalize-audio.

Note that this is rather CPU intensive and might struggle on slower pi devices.

How do I add cdg or mp3+cdg zip files?

You'll need to add them manually by copying them to the root of your download folder. Run pikaraoke --help and look under DOWNLOAD_PATH to find out what the default folder is, or specify your own. Only cdg/mp3 pairs and .zip files are supported.
