Encore Karaoke vs Kanto Syncro

Encore Karaoke is an open-source karaoke player for computers that uses music supplied by the user; a song library is not included by default. It works best with MIDI and MP3+G files and also supports popular audio and video formats. An audio mixer can enhance a singer’s voice, video recording captures performances, and advanced scoring gives real-time feedback on pitch and timing. Encore Sessions lets people create karaoke rooms, while EnMoku allows song queuing, chat, and cheering from a machine without installing an app. The player can romanize Japanese and Korean songs automatically, and users can place their own background images or videos behind lyrics. The latest listed release describes OBS scene automation and overlays for lyrics and the current setlist. The setup menu is PIN-protected and starts with PIN 0000, which users can change. The listing includes Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows, with desktop support varying by release: Windows for versions 1.0.0–1.3.1, Linux from 1.4.0, and macOS from 1.10 onward. The plan costs nothing.
