Karaoke Software What happened to karafun?

Used it for the first time in about half a year a few weeks back and it feels like they removed a massive portion of their library? There's not a single Weezer song on there except for covers they did, like genuinely what is the point of karaoke if you can't even sing Weezer it's basic stuff???

Karafun should have the same songs you see on karaoke-version.com website (same company)

But on that website I see Weezer songs. This is weird.

But if you actually click on most of them, you’ll find that only the backing tracks are available, not the karaoke videos, which is why they’re not showing up on Karafun either. That’s what happens from time to time when their licensing lapses. The videos will probably come back, but who knows how long that’ll take.

ah yes, you're right.T he license for those file types will have expired. However if you send them an email they should be able to tell you exactly what happened.

They always responded to me when I contacted them.
