HERE'S HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN MIDI KARAOKE FILES
One of the best features about MIDI Karaoke is that you can actually make your own karaoke songs with little or no knowledge of music.
The two ingredients you'll need for making a P.C. karaoke song is:
(1) MID file (the music) and (2) Song Lyrics (the words).
Here's how to combine the two together seamlessly to create that perfect beat.
    READ THIS TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET THE MUSIC
There are a few ways you can get music so I'll explain the basics below
1. YOU CAN RECORD YOUR OWN MUSIC
This option would be the best by far while most of us won't be able to fulfill it. The best way of creating a song from scratch would be to totally play it yourself using a synthesizer or MIDI organ. Most home PC's have sound cards, and most of them have what's known as a MIDI port on it (same port your joystick plugs in to) - If you can play an organ or synthesizer well, you could play around with the chords and really jazz things up or even record your OWN songs!
2. DOWNLOAD MIDI FILES FROM THE INTERNET
Another way to get the music and by far one of the easiest ways to get MIDI music is to download it from the Internet. There are thousands of sites on the net, with hundreds of thousands of songs available and ready to download. Many people who sequence their own music offer them free to people who visit their sites. You can type the name of the song you're after into your favourite search engine or use VanBasco's excellent Midi search engine below. It will do a search of the net for you. Alternatively, using your favourite search engine, type in something like "free midi", you'll be suprised how many "free" songs you will find.

Probably the most time consuming method but you can guarantee it's the words you will want. I found my kids loved doing this part and I'll bet if you asked, someone close would love to do it for you anyhow.
