WELCOME NEWBIE!

At least once or twice a month, someone posts a generic question asking: “What is the best Karaoke software”?

The answer is always the same. It depends! Everyone has a favorite and everyone’s needs are different. Just like going to an Automotive forum and asking “What is the best motor oil for my car?” or a Wine forum asking "What is the best Cabernet?" you are always going to get the same flurry of responses pointing in no particular direction.

The following list is intended to give YOU a head start on finding the best program for YOU. All of them will play Karaoke files. Some have more bells & whistles than others and most have a free demo version.

YOUR JOB is to download and try them out! Then you can come back and ask more specific and better informed questions.

Get to work! You can discuss the various softwares here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=27842

IF YOU HAVE UPDATED INFORMATION,PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE FOR INCLUSION.
If you simply reply to the thread, it will get lost in the noise and most likely be missed.
