Karaoke Machine

Posts: 774 Forumite
My daughter who is 9 is constantly singing and has asked for a Karaoke machine for christmas. I have had a look around but have no idea whatsoever what Im buying.
I want a machine that isnt too technical as she is like I say only 9, and im not too clever with things like that, I want to spend up to £100.
The main thing i'm looking for though is a machine that doesnt just come with a set amount of about 20 tracks then you have to keep buying new discs when your bored with those songs.
Does anyone have any experience of these things and which one I can buy that I can download more tunes off the internet at regular intervals.
I have heard that you can get a programme to put on the laptop off ebay that will make the laptop be a karaoke machine when plugged into the tv, I am not too sure how this would work and where I would buy microphones though.
Anybody any idea?

Our DVD player (unheard of brand of Samasonic i got from aria some while ago) has inputs with balance controls for two microphones for karaoke. Never tried it and don't know the sort of discs our player supports or where to get but at least a similar thing might have some use if/when your daughter gets bored of karaoke!
Karaoke in our house is in form of singstar on PS2 at christmas (when wer'e all to drunk to realise we can't sing!!)..but singstar software or hardware isn't particularly cheap - though there's potentially more use for a PS2 than a standalone karaoke box.

She started off with singstar but sharp got bored of the standard songs and like you say new discs arent cheap. We'd like to be able to get them when new songs come out of alternatively when she is bored with the ones she has....or we have when had too many sherrys also lol0 -

That looks good as she likes Hannah Montana, Im just curious how she'd see the words, does it plug into the tv or something?0 -

It says audio/video out sockets but you would need to see if the leads come with it,but they would not be expensive,
just plug leads into machine and into teleI MOJACAR0 -

If you need any cables (or just longer cables) i'd recommend ebay..there's quite a few ebay shops selling quality cables substantially cheaper than what you'd pay on the high street (currently got a batch on order myself).0
