newbie karaoke advice solicited

[jerseyjim]

Hello All,
I attended an event last weekend where my wife & I sat behind a stage & watched a karaoke program named "hoster" run. It was our first karaoke experience. Boy, it looked like a lot of fun! We like to sing but we're much too shy & unpolished to sing in public but I said to my wife I definitely pursue karaoke ability at home. I'd like to do it as cheaply as possible. I have a brand new high end PC, my wife has a Casio keyboard with a microphone so we can sing through that. I was wondering if we purchased hoster what else we would need to buy. Of course, we have a tv with inputs,etc..
Any/all advice deeply appreciated!
Regards,
Jim

well it depends on how good you want to sound.

if you want to sound good, you will need an amp, speakers & microphone.

Most of all you'll need to buy lots of karaoke discs to load into Hoster.
Good luck,
Eric

where do you buy karaoke discs? eBay?

So with Hoster you load the karaoke discs into your pc & then they are all in your pc so you no longer need your discs, correct?
Is there a good place to buy karaoke discs at good prices, cany you buy & download them off the internet?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm a newbie & anxious to get going asap.
Regards,
Jim

once you load them into your computer your set to go. no more disc to carry.

you should always have a back up of you kma's.

hoster converts your cd-g (karaoke disc's) to kma.


just do a google search for karaoke and you will find everything you need.
