Where can I Download Karaoke Music?

Once you get to the Napster Karaoke page, you’ll see a list of “top tracks” and “top albums”, to show what the hottest-selling karaoke choices are these days. Strangely, the “Happy Birthday” singalong song is the most downloaded karaoke song at the moment, while “Bridge Over Troubled Water” (of all things) is #4. You’ll also find links to the left of this page to individual recording artists, if you want to see what an individual music act has to offer on Napster.

Where Can You Download Karaoke Music For Free? This is a tricky question. First of all, it’s illegal to download copyrighted material.

There has been a decade of battles between the music recording industry and the peer-to-peer music downloading websites, with the big recording companies enforcing music licenses by suing the peer-to-peer download sites and prosecuting selected music downloaders (seemingly at random). These days, record companies employ people whose job is to search the internet searching for the sites and the people who download pirated material, and karaoke music is no different. Of course, you’ll find plenty of karaoke download sites which offer “free karaoke music” or “free karaoke downloads”, but most of these are actually trying to sell you karaoke music instead.

The “free” is just a ruse to get you to their website, which is frustrating. If you want to check out free music online, I might suggest you go to limewire.com, because it’s one of the biggest peer-to-peer websites which still offers free downloads. Frankly, I’m not sure how Limewire skates by, because the record industry has to know about them.

Other sites to look at are “EXTracks”, “Great Karaoke Catalog”, “KaraFun”, “Blaze Audio” and “Mr. Free Free”, but I think several of those are sites which promise free and end up charging you, so let the buyer (or free downloader) beware. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend getting music free off the internet. Technically, free online music is illegal and I don’t want to advocate you doing anything illegal.

The chances of being prosecuted are small, but the chances of getting struck by lightning are small, and I wouldn’t recommend walking through a lightning storm. Besides, you can download songs for a dollar on most sites. Karaoke songs might cost $2.
