Hello,
If you want to record your own karaoke songs on your computer without purchasing Karaoke software, here's what I did:
The only cost was purchasing the karaoke songs for .99 cents on iTunes or Amazon
[Note: this only works with "karaoke" songs, not the original versions that still have the artist's vocals on track, unless you want to record yourself singing along with them]
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONVERTING AN MPEG FILE TO A .KAR FILE
FOR RECORDING WITH KARAFUN SOFTWARE
Required Free Downloads:
MediaCoder http://www.free-codecs.com/download/mediacoder.htm
Click on "Download MediaCoder"
Ignore or reject all the advertising offers with "Decline"
KaraFun http://www.karafun.com/karaokeplayer/
KaraFun only plays .kar files
To Make a .KAR file out of an MPEG file:
- Download the karaoke song onto iTunes or upload it from a CD
- Drag it onto the Desktop. It will be an Mpeg file
Open MediaCoder:
- Hit "New" song or "Add" song, browse for your song
- Under "Encoder" choose "Vorbis" from the pulldown menu under the arrow
- Do not hit the "Encoder" button, it just brings up a Windows doc
- Choose Output File location, usually the Desktop
- Hit "Start." Conversion will start
- The Mpeg file will now be transcoded as a .kar file with the KaraFun icon
- Rename the KaraFun icon song as "[song] vocals [date]"
- MediaCoder will disappear by default onto the lower right system tray, remember to click it and Exit out before turning off the computer
Open KaraFun:
- Open the Library and the Recording windows
- Drag the .kar song over to the song list in Library, or "File" "Open" and browse for it
- Double click the song to make sure it's highlighted
- Hit the Record button to record song with vocals
- This will overwrite the .kar file permanently. Make a copy and rename it first to preserve the original
