What Lies Ahead for Karafunkel’s Karaoke Suite in 2018: An Insightful Forecast

Karaoki is PCDJ’s top karaoke show hosting software solution for Windows. How will the already robust karaoke player get better in 2018?

Karaoki has been a market-leading professional show hosting software for the last 9 years with nearly 60,000 users in more than 56 different countries. The feature depth for hosting karaoke is subsequently cavernous, with some of the latest editions being improvements and updates to the filler music player (automated background music player), a new ‘search results’ library view, improved overall search performance improvements, ‘fade to stop’ and more.

Karaoki is clearly an already polished karaoke software but there is always room for improvement. Our KJ customers have always been fantastic when it comes to providing in-depth requests for new features or feature improvements; a tremendous resource for our development team. We take many design cues from users — via phone calls, support tickets, and user forum posts. Many of the received requests will make their way into Karaoki through various free updates in 2018.

So without further ado, Here’s a glimpse at a few of our top goals for Karaoki in 2018:

• Native video playback support (without the requirement for installing a third-party codec pack): A top request for many KJs using MP4 karaoke video files, we will have a solution for video playback in Karaoki without the need for installing a video code pack.
• A new Slide Show feature that can automatically be displayed on the ‘next singers’ screen (screen 2 display) while filler music is playing.
• Singer Scroll: Instead of only displaying singers on-screen between songs on the secondary display (screen 2), users will have the option to have the singer names scroll at the bottom of the screen while lyrics are also being displayed.
• Launch (finally!) support for KaraoQ, a very modern and feature-rich singer/song remote request platform with marketing capabilities and more. Disruptive technology that we’re excited about.
• A few new options for singer rotation management that will make things even easier on the host during a busy night of karaoke.
• New built-in karaoke song store options: We should have one new option for U.S.A. based customers and one for Europe based customers.
• Release a SaaS version of Karaoki: A subscription based option for those KJs that would rather pay on-the-go.
• Various performance improvements

Please keep in mind this isn’t a ‘tell all’ as we have to keep a few goals and surprises up our collective sleeve. Our customers aren’t the only entities following this blog!
