Features

• Plays:
  • MP3+G (MP3 with CDG lyrics; including zipped)
  • MP4 videos
  • Music-synced visualizations (with automatic lyrics background removal)
• Fast, modern mobile browser app designed for “karaoke conditions”
• Easy joining with QR codes and guest accounts
• Multiple simultaneous rooms/queues (optionally password-protected)
• Dynamic queues keep parties fair, fun and no-fuss
• Singers manage their own spot: a Me tab with drag-to-reorder, a wait-time readout with a pause key, and a history of what’s been sung
• A short intermission between songs that names and shows the next singer
• Fully self-hosted
• No ads or telemetry

Microphones are not required since the player itself only outputs music - this allows your audio setup to be as simple or complex as you like. See the F.A.Q. for more information.

• App: Fast, modern mobile web app designed for “karaoke conditions”.
• Player: Just another part of the app, but meant to run fullscreen on the system handling audio/video for a room.
