I spent quite a bit of money on low-quality tracks myself. If you think there is a significant chance you are going to remain a hobbyist, then this might be prudent. But in that case, start out with SuperCore and Sweet Georgia Brown. That will cost $140 and give you 1600 songs that will be of dubious quality but be very cheap.
But if you are committed to karaoke long term, I recommend quality tracks and staying away from the Sweet Georgia Brown, Music Maestro, and Monster Hits. You will find the vast majority of those tracks will never be touched.
First, as a BUSINESSMAN, you want to make sure that you don't waste money on tracks that you will ever use. Second, While the quality of Sweet Georgia Brown is inconsistent, the quality of the SuperCore collection is pretty much above average, while the hundreds of dollars you may spend on Sound Choice will leave you with SOME good tracks, some unused tracks, and some truly horrible tracks. Go with Stogie's advice to begin with. Again, find out what is popular to begin with, then check and LISTEN to other mfr. tracks before you "upgrade". Some of those so-called upgrades are awfull, and at an inflated price, sold high due to brand name
