Karaoke Forums

I haven't seen a Brick and Mortar that carries karaoke in years. Even Wal Mart got rid of their section. But many of these stores, including Wal Mart and the larger Brick and Mortars that still exist also sell on line and even have EBay stores. So on line sales still support them.

exactly. if company "A" does not offer what you want or need but company "B" does, your business leaves company "A" and goes to company "B".
easy to blame piracy for their problems as SC has blamed piracy for theirs, but the same rules apply...

the modern KJ needs new tracks, available while hot, at a reasonable price, without the dupes we all are loaded with.
Clark for example did have new tracks, some on the hot 100 list, not a reasonable price, but no dupes.
Sunfly, SBI, Zoom, Mr Entertainer, and through their suppliers like Tricerasoft do offer new tracks, in time while they are hot, a reasonable price, and no dupes. Who got the business? not because of piracy, because the legal hosts did not buy from them but from the other companies instead who offered what they wanted.

SC did offer the new hits, but they were 3-6 months too late after they either went cold or we all already had several copies from other manus, not a reasonable price unless we used the pre-pressed discs loaded with dupes.

In my area K-mart, Walmart, Best Buy, and a few smaller stores still have them on the racks- mostly SyberSound/Party Tyme, but some ASKs and a few others like Disney as well.

just a side note on that for those that may not know, Disney has licensed their whole library to AS for sale. you can buy them on disc or one off downloads on the AS site.

A real shame. I do hope there will be a new custom Sound Choice service, and soon.

And I am hoping, SOMEDAY, Sound Choice will get licensed to offer downloads.

That too would be a bonus. I'm not so bothered about downloads but Clark had tracks from long since deleted discs that were extremely difficult to get anywhere else. What adds insult to injury is there are some custom websites that offer Karaoke Channel. Since the KC are home use only, these would-be precious tracks are little more than a white elephant.
