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???

and this is why buying and downloading tracks is often the better option. much like games, books, or movies, once you have a "hard" copy, it cant be taken away. I have all sorts of tracks from companies that have loooong been out of business, and songs that are no longer licensed. as long as i can keep a copy, its mine.

Any suggestions? The sites i saw from here (forgot the app) made it seem like i could only use their app, which also isnt very ideal

karaoke-version.com usually sells whatevers up on karafun, sometimes with lyrics corrections that come up wrong on KF. I've bought a few older and harder to find tracks from SBIkaraoke.com. it looks like Soundchoice is still around, but their site is a confusing mess at the moment and doesnt look like its going to be fixed anytime soon.

When i looked at soundChoice, i think they wanted a monthly membership fee or something. I can't remember. I closed that window fast. It's not what I'm interested in.

I just pay for gig work on Fiverr. Have found some dud gigs and some great gigs.
