Turn Your PC to Karaoke Player with Windows Karaoke
Want to have some fun with U-Sing-Along karaoke? you don't need to buy a
fancy karaoke machine which, most likely, will disappoint you by the
low audio quality but high... limitations.
I've seen many pricey karaoke machines out there that play thousands of
songs, all from one single DVD disc. But the video scenes are boring
since they're shared within the song tracks. The Midi audio quality from
these players is not what you want (that's why such many songs can be
stored in one single disc). And... it's impossible to manage the list of
song tracks on the disc, for example, when you want to add your
favorite songs or remove ones that you dislike.
This Windows Karaoke is a free software for non-commercial uses, so help
yourself and enjoy. Feel free to send me comments/suggestions, as well
as any questions you may have. Thanks to TheComputerTricks.com for their
sponsorship.
With Windows Karaoke, you can turn your desktop or laptop to a karaoke
machine, or even connect it to your home theater system. I suggest that
you connect your laptop/desktop audio (line-out) to a mixer, which
allows you to plug in a microphone. Then feed the audio from this mixer
to your home theater system.
You can also use this player to play other media types such as MP3, movies, etc...
Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or newer. MS .NET Framework (recommend 3.5 or newer)
Windows Media Player 9 or newer, which is available in most recent computers.
