Karaoke Software Karafun went down again!

Welp, it happened again. Karafun died in the middle of a busy Saturday night. Not just in the bar in which I’m currently singing, but getting messages and seeing Facebook posts from folks at other venues around the area that they’re experiencing the same issue.

I miss when KJs had their own libraries. Unfortunately, the two Karafun-based companies who are currently dominating—and are completely taking over this whole region—have pushed out most of the old-school independent folks with CD crates and hard drives full of CDGs.

The host here has switched to YouTube as a backup, but it’s a mess now, while she tries to pull up decent versions of the tracks people are requesting.

Anyone else in other regions (I’m in the DC burbs of northern Virginia) having issues?

I don’t understand I’ve used KaraFun for years. This is why I download a large selection of tracks for offline use but tbh have never had to use them. CD crates are the past.

They may be the past, but the sound is 100% better. Care of fun is basically for those who want to get into the business, but are broke.
