PLAYER

PlayKaraoke Player is a free, browser-based karaoke player built for real karaoke nights — CDG and MP4 files, key change, a second screen for the singers and a singer rotation for hosts.

The story

PlayKaraoke was created by Jorge Domecildes, a Brazilian karaoke enthusiast. The brand started in 2015 with the karaoke tracks he produced himself, and grew into PlayKaraoke Player: a tool made by someone who runs karaoke nights, for everyone who loves them.

PlayKaraoke Player is free to use. If it makes your nights better, you can support the project.
