a program that can let you delete, say the lyrics out of a song? and still keep the actual music and beat itself. (obviously a free program is preferred.. but if not, what is the average price of one?)

I was always wondering that. You'd better PM D4rk, who knows a lot about music software.

You're gonna need to spend a few hundred on something like cubase or audition.
and it's not easy, either.

There IS a sort of trick to it.
Instruments are usually put on the right and left channels, and the vocals are centered. Just invert the song, overlay it on itself. A lot of the vocals will be canceled and most of the background will stay the same.
Not a very good way to do it, though it's cheap. (Audacity)

Think of a music track like this:
Once the final mixdown is mastered it is like baking a cake.
You can't extract the eggs once it has been baked.
The same goes for lyrics. You may be able to take an uncompressed format (AIFF or WAV) and throw a noise gate or EQ out the frequencies that the vocals are found on, however you will inevitably wind up muting or drowning out some of the instruments in the process.
The best bet for anyone (if they don't have ties to the band who's instrumental song versions are being sought out) is to be able to musically reproduce the song and record it yourself... I hope this helps.

i had a karaoke machine that allowed me to turn off lyrics to songs even if it wasnt a CD+G it was rather cool. wasnt expensive either (my aunt got it for me for chanukkah roughly 7 years ago and it was 150$ then)
as for an actual program? i used to have this WAV edit that came free with my CD burner, i used to use it to edit my own ring tones. you could drop the voice. i dont use the program anymore since i updated to something better but it doesnt have vocal drop. ill try to get you a link

*light bulb*
- Dont bother reading this unless, you only wanna be able to HEAR the music, unless you can record it.
- You need a bass speaker (also called sub-woofer?) to do this.
Play an mp3 player, thru a wire into the bass speaker, this usually works, and theres gonna be alot of bass.
or not an mp3 player, and just the bass speaker to the computer
Short vers:
[USE A BASS SPEAKER (sub-woofer)]

Yeah,
What I do is use audition.
I amplify the centre channel a few times, EQ out the other instruments, noise cancel anything left of the instruments then invert the audio.
I then mix that with the original track and voilà I've got rid of the vocals.
It usually takes me a good hour or two though.

Oh and use a WAVE file.
not an MP3 or AAC, etc. It won't work so well otherwise.
