Free TunePrompter tool lets you make your own iKaraoke vids
There's a dark family secret in my house, but it's one I must reveal: my wife is a karaoke fiend. Seriously, she's got a monkey on her back, and that chimp is singing "I Know Him So Well" from Chess. With this in mind, I've considered getting her Griffin's iKaraoke as a gift... but how to accomplish that ultra-cheesy singalong lyric scroll on screen? If only there were some way to add the lyrics to my iTunes tracks...Trust those wacky engineers at Griffin to come up with something. The just-released, free TunePrompter for OS X 10.4 & Windows XP lets you load up your songs, search for lyrics online, and then sync the words to the music -- save out a video version and you're ready to rock and roll. Griffin's also running a giveaway of a bundle of products, and anyone who provides feedback on TunePrompter is eligible to win. One caveat: even though the iKaraoke is compatible with a range of iPods, the videos produced by TunePrompter will play on an iPod with Video (and on an iPhone, but chances are the microphone won't work). Download it here and start tracking your tunes... just don't tell my wife, OK?

Check out i-Sing Portable MP3 Karaoke Player! It allows you to play, display, sing, and record all at the same time! It comes with Lyric Creation Software to plug in lyrics. For those who do not have iPod video this is perfect - for those who do have iPod video - see the below points.
1. i-Sing is portable - You do not have to hook it up through a stereo or computer to sing along and read the lyrics.
2. i-Sing is colorful and you can play Karaoke to any song you want - not just those specifically on iTunes.
3. It is much cheaper to purchase an i-Sing instead of purchasing an iPod video and iKaraoke.

takes too long to add lyrics to each song and then expert to video and then compress the video. took me 30 minutes just to do one song! nice idea though!
