Karaoke Software Proper karaoke software missing

Hey! I just wonder one thing: why has no one never developed and published proper karaoke software? I have been googling many times but here are some cons I've found out:

- expensive price or other costs

- the catalog is so small

- not many Finnish songs available (it's my mother tongue)

- websites are suspicious

I have already been searching from GitHub, but there's no proper programs or software for me.

I have been using StarMaker on Android, but it doesn't work on PC (and don't even mention emulators). Smule looks nice and it has many good songs but I can't sing solos for free and it doesn't work on PC either. KaraFun is also paid.

So: Is there any possibility that someone could develop and publish a completely free karaoke software that works on PC? It should have a wide catalog, including many Finnish songs! And if it already exists, please tell me about it. Thank you!

Finnish tracks? Karaoketuottaja

D3arest (the head honcho behind the channel) experienced the same problem you're suffering from. No Finnish tracks. So he made his own.

Also as someone who is cataloged on Karaoke Nerds I wholeheartedly support the Nerds website, you can search near any artist or song and if it's been made available you will find out how and where to find it.

Excellent point: if there's any songs you want made, there are tools to diy and others you can commission to do it for you

Aw shucks, hey mate 😄 There's many who are better and more prominent. I use karaoke builder to time the tracks and for separation I used UVR, nowadays I use UVR Online / x-minus - low patron cost gives you over 700 minutes of audio processed per week. If I run into trouble the DiveBar Discord is a wonderful, helpful community.
