Open karaoke party system

Karaoke Forever

Host awesome karaoke parties where everyone can easily find and queue songs from their phone's web browser. The player is also browser-based with support for MP3+G, MP4 video and WebGL visualizations. The server is self-hosted with no internet connection required.

App in mobile browser (top) controlling player in Firefox/Chrome (bottom)

Features

• MP3+G and MP4 video support
• MilkDrop-style visualizations via Butterchurn (requires WebGL 2)
• ReplayGain volume normalization support
• Singers prioritized by time since each last sang
• Multiple simultaneous rooms/queues (optionally password-protected)
• No ads or telemetry; all data stored locally

Karaoke Forever assumes its player will be mixed with any microphones (either in software or an outboard mixer). See the F.A.Q. for more information.
