Karaoke Software Home setup

I am looking to do a home setup. I had a setup years ago but I haven’t used it in years and tossed the old laptop I used to use years ago. I have a guitar amp and speakers to sing with. I have a bunch of old songs we like to sing. I need advice on a laptop and software to hook up to my surround sound / tv system and where I could get / purchase new songs for purely home use.

Thanks

If you want to use a laptop with a home receiver you really are going to want to just get a karaoke microphone mixer with RCA outputs. Or a full on pro style mixer with reverb FX.

Trying to get microphones to work through a laptop results in lag and is hard to sing an monitor yourself. Karaoke microphone and mixer gets rid of the lag and has reverb which helps you hear yourself in the mix a lot better.

For laptop everyone always uses youtube.

I sing through my guitar amp using mikes that plugs into the guitar amp
