Where to Buy Karaoke/Backing tracks!

[DJ INDIE]

It makes sense to me, Ive no idea why there isnt more of this buy single tracks available?
I can see the business side - selling only 'full' discs where 50% may be of no use, but i think this also puts of people from buying them at all!

If they are sold singularly, more and more people would buy them surely?

They can still encourage people to buy whole discs and collections by offering discounts when you buy over 10 tracks.


anywho, let us all know if you get anywhere with them, should be interesting to see what they say.

good stuff.

It does make sense, I'm not a kj but when I've sung karaoke and looked at the list, with the more popular tracks there's almost always a few of the same track.

I assume this is due to the fact that popular tracks are on several discs so you just end up buying duplicates a lot of the time just to get the odd song you don't have.

Thanks for those thoughts, guys.

I didn't get round to mailing this suggestion to the karaoke manufacturers but now I know that others think it's a good idea, I'll put it as a priority and set the ball rolling by the weekend.

I'll post replies as I get them so keep an eye out!

Also try this one. You can buy individual tracks in $ (get a decent deal if you're buying older tracks at 99c) and you get a 20% discount when you buy 5 or more tracks.

I've never used them, though always intended to, but 7digital apparently sell Karaoke tracks. Must have a go sometime.

Interesting - be careful though, there are karaoke tracks on amazon for download, but you only get the mp3 and not the G.

Well in my exceedingly humble opinion, it's not a karaoke track then, is it? The swines.

Before I quit karaoke. (to many kn*bEND wannabe singers)
I puchased the software to rip a midi track from an original, then you can add your lyrics click for click. Time consuming and the outcome was to be honest CR*P.

Stick with Soundfly and at a push Mr.Entertainer tracks.

Who?

Personally, I would choose MRE over SF. MRE seem to be getting tracks out quicker than SF and the "count-me-in" feature is very useful to singers.

Older SF releases were famous for using the wrong words in the songs (I assume that this was a licensing issue).

The LEGends series is pretty good, too.
