I have a HP laptop with media software, i want to use my laptop for a Karoke machine, just for like the house and friends parties. I have a spare TV monitor I can use so they can see the songs but here are my problems.

1) What would be the best software to buy (I have over 100K songs) on a 1TByte Hard Drive

2) Only want to use my laptop and no other equipment, but also want to enable micrphones to be used

3) Want to be able to use regular CD plus have the lyrics on the screen is this possible?

thanks

when you say 100K songs are you talking about karaoke cd or red cd ( regular audio cd) ?
you need to get either the full version of hoster or the lite version from mtu in order to do karaoke show ..the diff. between the 2 was on hoster lite you wont be able to import singers disc and you wont be able to create a songbook..regular cd ?do you mean audio cd ,you can play regular cd's, but no graphics ( lyrics ) will show up on your screen..only cdg' ( graphic cd ) if you wanna use your microphone,my suggestion is to get yourself a descent mixing board , and a studio quality monitor ( speakers ) you'll have a better sound quality than just using your laptop, ..to enable dual display click on control panel..display then setting , youll see two screens 1 and 2 ,1 being your main screen and 2 your viewer screen..click on 2, click on extend my monitor, click apply ,then ok..make sure your tv is on before doing these steps..you should be running in no time doing these steps...good luck.. i forgot to mentioned you need an s-video to rca cable also plug in the svideo to your laprop and rca jack to your tv..
