This is not possible with any software package. Some of
them try to do it, but there is none that can do it
effectively. The technology just does not exist.

Impossible. You may be able to filter out some of the
vocals to some limited extent, but you'll also be filtering
out everything else in the same frequency range.

The only way this could be done is to acquire the original
multitrack master tape or disc. Each voice, instrument,
etc is recorded on a separate channel or track. They are
then all mixed down to left and right channels. Everything
is blended together. Only the master multitrack media
would have each track separated.

If you are looking for instrumental versions of songs,
there are sources for those (such as Karoake - spelling?)
but I don't have any addresses off the top of my head. As
for prices on such things, I have no idea.

You can also try the "Vocal Remover" from AnalogX (a free
DirectX effect):

Doesn't work perfect, but it's worth a shot.
