iTMS new genre: karaoke??
Continuing with today’s theme of serious Apple journalism, we bring you news of what could possibly be the next great trend at the iTMS: karaoke! Apple-X site member dains spells out the concept:
Think about it, nearly every Macintosh has a microphone input, or at least an internal mic. With this you could buy and download a karaoke track from the iTunes music store for say $0.50c, plug in your microphone and sing away badly to the lyrics displayed through iTunes Visualiser. An iSight plug-in to iTunes could definitely beef things up as you can then watch, and even record, your terrible ambition to be the next David Bowie.
If you had the desire, you could even set up your iBook on the coffee table, and have yourself and your friends mug displayed on the television for an all-round karaoke party feast.
Perhaps American iTMS patrons will be slow to warm to the idea, but when the iTMS launches in Japan… look out! It’s only a matter of time.

I wouldn't mind paying for just the instrumentals of some songs, so I hope it happens.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I have been looking and looking for HOURS for this! Now I find out is just thoughtware.....almost makes me want to learn to program...seems like such an obvious thing....I never would have guessed it didn't exist yet.
Will someone PLEASE get to work? I'd rather pay for the program than pay for a separate karaoke player. And while you're at it, why not just suppress the vocal tracks of regular songs? I've seen some programs that say they can rip the songs, delete the vocals, and then burn the songs. But if you can delete the vocals based on where they generally are in the stereo system, why not just digitally suppress them? Then you could use music you already have.
If anyone would like to work on this with me, I'd LOVE to give it a go!
