+Vocaluxe is a free and open source singing game. It allows up to three players (currently) to sing
+along with music using microphones in order to score points, depending on the pitch of the voice
+and the rhythm of singing.
+
+Vocaluxe is an entirely new development in C#, inspired by the original UltraStar (developed by corvus5)
+and the great Ultrastar Deluxe project.
+
+Supported Operating Systems / Requirements:
+- WinXP, Vista, Windows 7 with .NET 2.0
+- 1 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, Graphics card with OpenGL 2.1 or DirectX 9.0 support
+
+
+=================================
+= 2. Release Notes              =
+=================================
+
+- The program supports 32bit and 64bit (Vocaluxe_x64.exe) operating systems.
+
+- The program uses OpenGL as the default renderer. If your graphics card driver does not or not
+  properly support OpenGL, you can try the Direct3D renderer by editing your Config.xml in the
+  application's main directory:
+  
+	<Graphics>
+		<!--Renderer: TR_CONFIG_SOFTWARE, TR_CONFIG_OPENGL, TR_CONFIG_DIRECT3D-->
+		<Renderer>TR_CONFIG_DIRECT3D</Renderer>
+
+- To add your existing song collection to Vocaluxe, put your songs into the 'Songs' subfolder.
+
+  Alternatively, you can add multiple song paths to Vocaluxe by editing your Config.xml:
+
+	<Game>
+		<!--SongFolder: SongFolder1, SongFolder2, SongFolder3, ...-->
+		<SongFolder1>C:\Vocaluxe\Songs</SongFolder1>
+		<SongFolder2>D:\EvenMore\Songs</SongFolder2>
+
+- To use your highscore database from UltraStar deluxe 1.0.1, UltraStar deluxe CMD Mod or 
+  UltraStar deluxe 1.1, simply copy your Ultrastar.db (rename if necessary) into the main
+  directory. Your highscore database will be imported into the HighscoreDB.sqlite file when
+  Vocaluxe is started. Upon successful import, the old database is deleted.
+  
+- To add your own player avatars, simply add some picture files to the 'Profiles' subfolder.
+  Supported file types: png, jpg (jpeg), bmp.
+  Images should have square proportions, e.g. 400x400 px.
+
+
+=================================
+= 3. Command-Line Parameters    =
+=================================
+commandline parameter: SongFolder, SongPath
+
+The following command-line parameters may be passed to the game when starting it through a shortcut
+or from the console:
+
+-ConfigFile [Path\File]: Use [Path\File] as configuration file instead of Config.xml in the main folder.
+						 The path to the file has to exist and needs to be an absolute path.
+						 If only a filename is specified, the file is assumed to be in the current directory.
+						 Examples: 	Vocaluxe.exe -ConfigFile MyConfig.xml
+									Vocaluxe.exe -ConfigFile C:\Vocaluxe\Configs\MyConfig.xml
+
+-ScoreFile [Path\File] : Use [File] as score database instead of HighscoreDB.sqlite in the application's
+						 main folder. The path to the file has to exist and needs to be an absolute path.
+						 If only a filename is specified, the file is assumed to be in the current directory.
+						 Example: 	Vocaluxe.exe -ScoreFile MyHighscoreDB.sqlite
+									Vocaluxe.exe -Scorefile C:\Vocaluxe\Highscores\MyHighscoreDB.sqlite
+
+-SongFolder [Path]	   : Use [Path] as song folder. The path has to exist and needs to be an absolute path.
+						 Note that any song folders set in the config file will be ignored.
+						 This parameter may be used multiple times to use different song folders.
+						 Example:	Vocaluxe.exe -SongFolder D:\MySongCollection
+									Vocaluxe.exe -SongFolder D:\MySongCollection -SongFolder E:\MoreSongs
+						  
+-SongPath [Path]	   : Deprecated, see SongFolder [Path]. This alias is provided for convenience.
