Default Karaoke For The Pocket PC

http://www.pocketgear.com/software_...associateid=204

You knew this would happen some day. "Kara-O-Pocket v2 is a karaoke software for pocket pc. It could read .kar files! It uses timidity for midi playback & gapidraw for graphic rendering."



Honestly -- has anyone ever used their Pocket PC for karaoke? [Affiliate link]

How appropriate! I use timidity to stay FAR FAR AWAY FROM KARAOKE!

That's great, though I'm not sure this provides the same experience as being at a Karaoke bar with a bunch a friends and a few drinks.

Of course... put this on stage with the video hooked up to a monitor and the output connected to some loud speakers... if the MIDI doesn't sound too cheesy, it could be a cheap solution!

I can just see it now...

There I am sitting in a meeting with the president of one my clients. Tapping away on my PPC. What's that he says? Oh, it's not only a PPC, but also a portable Karaoke machine, do you want to sing with me? :Fade-color

I'm pretty certain the bonding that will ensue will help me close the deal we've been hammering out for the last 6 months!! :razz:

I guess we all sing along to the car radio, maybe with this some of us could get through the verse we always go nah, nah, nah to since we don't know the words.

Only if you mean that the person singing would get killed.
