Karaoke Machines

[cowPope]

so i was thinking about getting my girlfriend an okay karaoke machine, i say okay cause i'm poor but i'm willing to spend a decent amount to ensure that i get something worthwhile. her old one broke a while ago and she really misses it so i'm looking to get one within the next month.

if anyone has any ideas i would appreciate it because i don't know jack shit about karaoke machines and i can't ask her cause i don't want to give it away.

p.s. she has cds for her old karaoke machine, will they work with any machine or what's the deal with that?

thanks guys/pandagirl.

You can get a pretty decent one on ebay for like $40. I've done this... twice. (the first one took a four foot plunge off of a microwave stacked on a mini-fridge in the dorm room... let's just say if you're going to rock out to Bon Jovi when your hammered, make sure you have ample slack for the microphone cord). Personally, I use the AV-out to my CD player along with the built-in speaker, so if you're gonna do that it doesn't matter too much if the built-in one sucks. I haven't looked lately though, but I'd imagine them still beingi n the $40 price range, and new.


Oh, and yeah all CD+G's work in CD+G players... as long as they're not like special DVD-Karaoke CD's (You'd know if they was like 100+ songs it'd be a DVD) So the CD's will work.


Edit: I also always use Video-out for hooking it into the TV for the lyrics... The ones with built in monitors are relatively more expensive.
