Karaoke Software

Karaoke Software
While there are still many people who use disc players and karaoke discs, the trend is moving toward computer software players and song files. The song tracks are "ripped" from karaoke CD+G discs to the MP3+G computer karaoke file format. Karaoke songs can now also be purchased as MP3+G files. This allows all the songs to be stored on a hard drive and played with a software player thus eliminating the need to store and handle discs.

Software can also be used to make recordings of a singing performance and save them to a format (MP3 or WAV) that can be shared with others online or used to create an audio CD. Hosting software is what the professional use to run their karaoke shows but is also commonly used by the home karaoke enthusiast to host private parties. Disc burning software is used to make backup copies of karaoke discs, create custom compilation karaoke discs, or to rip the songs from karaoke discs to MP3+G files.

There are utility software programs for removing the lead vocals form standard sound tracks, permanently changing the key and tempo of karaoke songs, and converting karaoke songs to various file formats for use with assorted devices like iPhones, iPods, etc.. There are authoring programs that will let you create your own karaoke song tracks with onscreen lyrics.

How To Give Software As A Gift

While karaoke software may sound like an unconventional gift it can actually be one of the most useful gifts you will find. As with most other software these days, karaoke software can be purchased as a download only. This gives you instant access to the software but it does pose a slight problem as to how to give it as a gift. The solution is actually quite simple.

When you purchase a software download you will receive an email that contains a link to download the installation program and an unlock code with registration information. You will simply copy the contents of the email to a text file in Notepad or some other text editor and save it to your desktop as a text file named Registration.txt, download the installation program, and then burn both to a blank CD-R. Label the disc, place it in a jewel case, wrap it up, and your gift is ready.

Alternatively, you may simply copy the registration information text file and installation program to a USB thumb drive, place the thumb drive in a jewelry box, and wrap it up. As long as the person keeps the registration information and installation file stored away they can install the software at any future date, such as when they have a computer crash or buy a new computer.

Below are some of the most popular karaoke software programs available. They are sorted into three categories. All work with Windows operating systems only unless otherwise noted. Click on the link or image for full software information.
