Do you know of any programs that can remove music from the tracks you have
on your hard drive just to leave the singing from the track.

No. But whoever does invent it will be very rich. You're not the first
person to ask that in here and I'll bet next month's pay cheque that you
won't be the last. Seriously though, there are a few ideas about how to
extract the acapella from a track over at the 'get your bootleg on' message
board - http://gybo.proboards4.com/. I seem to remember some very
complicated stuff about finding a similar bit of the track without vocals
and then reversing the phase and then combining the two to cancel out the
unwanted stuff. Personally, I'll stick to buying vinyl with the acapella's
pressed onto the b-side - much simpler! Good hunting.

I think if you can pull out the vocals with defx then you can pull out the
music.
The key I think is if the song is in the correct format. Meaning vocals in
the mid and recorded in stereo.

Actually, what you would do is get the instrumental and invert the waveform.
Then, mix the inverted instrumental over the vocal version and you get an
acapella (you must line them up PERFECTLY). Well, MOST of the time. I've had
various levels of success with that technique, and most of the time the aca is
clean enough to use.

Assuming you have an instrumental version that is identical to the vocal
version you want to extract the acapella from.
