Pamplemus, You got me intrigued bro. In order to get a true idea of who has what etc...etc...I asked a friend of mine who is a electronic geek to help me out with sound and later Wednesday we will try out 3 different memberships. Singsnap, Myspace Karaoke and Karaoke Channel. (Thanks to Pamplemus for the heads up). Yes. I am going to pay for a months membership at all three sites. Close to thirty bucks but essential. I want a full and fair view of the offerings each site has to offer as far as the actual karaoke is concerned. All of the back room drama and staff will not be included as far as this part goes. Regardless of how someone runs their site, I have no problem saying whose is better then whose, but it may come down to opinion only. who knows I'm going to check on a couple of international sites such as Talent Run based in Germany, but as far as actually trying it out I am going to stick with the US.

I have tried all three, the latter two only as a guest though. I liked The Karaoke Channel above them all and I often endorsed it in my posts on SingsnapSucks.com. The other two I feel are equal, though singsnap is buggier and more temperamental. I frequently had to tweak it from one song to another and I never found much in the way of constency.

What was it about Karaoke Channel that stood out as superior? Overall quality?

•Myspace Karaoke •Karaoke Party •Karaoke Play •Lucky Voice •Karaoke Channel Online •Internet Karaoke •Mikestar •RedKaraoke Got it. Thanks. The only one on that list I hadn't heard of was Internet Karaoke. I want to check out the top few that seemed to offer the most and I'm hoping I've got it right in my choices. Singsnap Karaoke Channel Myspace Karaoke (which I found out today was also Ksolo once upon a time) Internationally will be Talent Run. It's a decent set up.

Much of the current membership of singsnap was leeched from ksolo, with Trevor initially entering as a member and extolling the virtues of this new and exciting karaoke site he had discovered called singsnap. Of course now he absolutely forbids anyone to mention competing sites on his turf. He's a con and a flim flam man, but the net is full of such vipers so what can you do? You can expose them but a goodly percentage of those conned will refuse to believe you and just bite your ankles. The best you can hope for is to keep others from falling into the trap.

I found the key changer feature on The Karaoke Channel to be much more robust and functional than the others, and the mixout of songs much more consistent and smooth. The singsnap model seemed cobbled together in some kids basement and despite the fumblings of their sono gurus the product slays the ears with excessively tinny and sharp productions or which sound muddy and vague. I did not encounter this downfall in my use of the KC tool. Their songs also seem to be much more consistent, and they do not boost their numbers with arcane French Neapolitan war ballads or nine versions of (for example) "go tell aunt rodie" as does singsnap.

Well THAT drove me bonkers What a drag trying to navigate through these karaoke sites and record. It took a long time trying to record at Myspace karaoke but finally did and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome I ended up with a decent rendition of a patriotic song I decided to try due to the 4th of July being just around the corner. Not to bad if I say so myself. I' am not a great singer in any way, but it is fun. I'll give it that Singsnap on the other hand was a nightmare. The settings were fine because my voice and the music were recording equally, but trying to save a recording was annoying. Trying to mix a recording was odd. The music sounded out of sync. Worst of all? I try to record a Beatles song three times. Each of those threes times I'd be half way through the recording and everything would suddenly stop and the recorder would say "Please try again" WHAT? Needless to say I was getting pissed off There was also static. I even went as far as to request help from the "recording support team" They told me what I already knew and didn't really answer my question or solve my problem. There was so much sugar in the reply though I felt like even though I had difficulties recording there, this guy was my new bff After some lunch, I tried one last time to hopefully record without a single snare. Grrrrrrrrrrr. A great Journey tune Oh, I forgot to mention there's some odd, strange sound at the beginning of all the tracks and I have no idea why. Should I ask my new bff in recording support? Anyways, the song turned out half way decent and I ended up keeping two of my songs. Guess how long all that took? Over 3 hours Off to Karaoke Channel. I must admit it looks a little professional over here. Reminds me a bit of the America's got Talent or the American Idol web site's. Freemantle media sets up their pages in a way similar to this place here. So far I like KC the best as far as how it's set up. Let's see what the recorder is like Will be trying another Beatles song. (Yeah, I like em) Now, this is cool. The pitch changer lets me go up or down 3 keys instead of the 2 at Singsnap and Myspace. Myspace had the half step increments just like it does here at KC, but Singsnap did not have that At Singsnap you jump a whole step at a time. Forgot to mention at Singsnap some of the key change steps either up or down do not work with some songs. WTH? Maybe it was a current problem they are experiencing, but when you pay them your hard earned money, you expect the features to actually work Yes. I thought about hailing recording support again, but I had already spent a hellava long time there and was ready to move on. Except for a few tweaks here and there, I didn't have to adjust much and I was pleased with my second try and saved it. Excellent as far as quality and without any of the earlier frustrations. I don't think they have the vast song selection as SS does, but I do not think that having 10 versions of the same song counts as having more nor does strange obscure tracks that no one has ever heard of. All in all, I found KC to be superior to the other two sites as far as the services and features offered with a paid membership. ;D

Problems with blue account changes cont...
Reply by crapsinger on July 4, 2010 at 9:56 AM Poor decission to take free music away from blue members. Obviously this decission was taken to bring in more money to the owners of singsnap. As someone said before, this puts people off upgrading. People like as much of a sample of what theyll be getting before paying out. Only time will tell whether this will have a possitive impact

I would love to go for gold, but I am only able to be on here sporadically and it just isn't worth the cost for a single mom to do so.
I totally agree with you hunteen..The blue songs available change from day to day which makes it hard if you enter a competition as there is very little choice. I think it would be nice for new blue members to have more choice so they can get use to the site and singing..I'v only been here a week, just trying it out , but the lack of choice has really put me off now...There are many free karaoke sites on the net that offers far more song choices...Its a real shame as there are some great people here and lots of great singers.

to be fair there are not, to my knowledge, other sites that offer more content for free to non-paying members than does singsnap. people who jump the singsnap ship in order to join another site because they are disgruntled over their treatment or the cutting back of the catalogue available to them will only be cutting off their noses to spite their faces. look, i am not a fan of some of the actions that trevor and his chosen staff make, and i am pretty outspoken as a critic of those actions. that does not mean that singsnap itself sucks or that the site has no merit. they have an adequate product for most purposes that the service is designed to provide. it is not a professional grade music production site, but none of them are. if people want something like that they will have to pay more than what they pay at an online karaoke site, and blue members are there only at the pleasure of the owner of the site and any co-owners. i believe he misled the public in his methodology of furthering his own enterprise, but he is not a robber baron or causing any mischief other than hoodwinking a few naive persons who thought they were getting an eternal free ride. the issues that i believe are real and legitimate i will stick to and advocate for, but i don't want to be guilty of trying to damn trevor mcguire, singsnap, or any member of the site or staff by any means fair or foul. the bad acts which they are, in my opinion, truly guilty of are enough to condemn them, without any attempt to crucify the entire enterprise and it's entire membership.

Is that why they pull the stunts they do then? Because they know nothing there's nothing else better out there?

All I am going to say is this. Don't be fooled by Trevor McGurie. He is one sly fox. He knows how to twist a story to suit him. All the SS cult members trust him and believe every word out of his mouth. Meanwhile he doesn't realize that so many people have done some investigating on their own about him and his many antics. He may have had the best site at one time on the net. Now he has nothing but a bunch of trained seals. They work for free gold and who knows what else depending on your gender. He is a dictator and nothig more. He too will fall at some point. And when he does it will be a huge fall. HAHAHA! SingSnap is doing fine, 8 years after your moronic post. The staff is quite professional, and fun is had by all! Those of us who enjoy being part of the best on line Karaoke site on the WWW, understand how simple it is conduct ourselves properly, and you'd have to be a complete ass to get booted. LMAO at your mentality. "They "WORK" for their gold" Yes, that's what people who want to be successful in all the right ways do. They work. Thanks for the laugh! Loving me some SVAP! WOOT WOOT!
