Turn your PC into a Karaoke Machine

Let the singer within you cut loose - we show you how.

Each one of us is a singer, so what if most of us are only bathroom singers? Many of us sing aloud only after making sure that nobody is listening, or sing in the privacy of our bedrooms. The concept of Karaoke really appeals to such people and if you fall in this category, we suggest you check out the software we're about to talk about - vanBasco's Karaoke Player, a freeware application.

It goes without saying that you also require a PC with a microphone and speakers to be able to sing along with your PC.

vanBasco's Karaoke Player can be downloaded from www.vanbasco.com and is a small download of 864 KB. It plays MIDI and Karaoke files and also displays the lyrics embedded within the file. Thus, it is possible for this program to not only play the music but also view the lyrics in synch.

Step 1

Go to www.vanbasco.com/midisearch.html and type the title of a song or the name of an artist into the search box. Check the box labelled "Only show results containing Karaoke" and then hit the search button. Here, you can find golden oldies such as Mama mia by ABBA, Nikita by Elton John, Yesterday by The Beatles and to newer ones such as Baby boy by Beyonce!



Step 2

Start the Karaoke Player program. In the Playlist window, use the right pane to browse for the file you downloaded. Select it and then click the Add button to include it to the playlist in the left pane.
