iLounge takes a look at Griffin's iKaraoke
iLounge has gotten their hands on one of the more interesting forthcoming products from our friends at Griffin, the iKaraoke. Check out the iLounge article for a look at the UI on the iPod, and pictures of the product itself which looks very much like the rendered graphics accompanying this post.The only problem I see with the iKaraoke is that I can never remember the lyrics to songs, and my music's metadata doesn't include lyrics. What's a singin' fool like me to do?

There are a handful of great widgets that automatically add lyrics to the songs in itunes... I've tried "harmonic" and also "sing that itune!" - both worked really well.

You can access the lyrics by clicking the center button on your iPod or 4 times consecutively to access. I have been adding lyrics to most of my favorite MP3's for a while and this device was the missing link, now I can show off my vocal talents on the road....
ehem ehem...here it goes...hope I get it right this time... Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-tiiiiiiiiiii!
I'm also interested to find out if this device also had recording abilities. Now I am using a Belking recorder on my 8GB - 2G ipod nano(Black). I have tested the Belkin recorder on the other 2G nanos, and they also work like a charm.

How is this a Karaoke Machine?? It has no way to see the lyrics! Sorry but the only song I have memorized is Rudolph the Red Nose Raindeer.

Other apps are also available, but don't work automatically I think.
The widget pearlyrics will help you out with filling in your metadata for song lyrics. Works quite nicely.
