Karaoke Mugen vs Singa

Karaoke Mugen is a free, open-source playlist manager for karaoke parties, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Operators can add, remove, reorder, shuffle, import, and export songs, while guests can suggest tracks from their own devices. Operators can enable voting, set song or singing-time quotas, and filter songs with blacklists and whitelists; sessions can also use automixes and quiz mode. The player includes playback controls, automatic volume adjustment, pitch and speed changes, and a synchronized second video player. It accepts video formats supported by mpv, uses ASS subtitles, and can import formats including Ultrastar, Karafun, and KBP. Once installed, configured, and up to date, it can run without an internet connection, but guests need the same Wi-Fi network. The software is published under the MIT license and provides a WebSockets API for additional interfaces or clients. Linux binaries require GLIBC 2.31 or higher; the Windows portable version must be updated by replacing files from a new ZIP archive.

Singa is a karaoke streaming service for singing at home or at venues powered by Singa. Its licensed catalog has over 120,000 songs, including original artist recordings and tracks in English, Spanish and more than 40 other languages. Singers can change pitch, turn on guide vocals, manage a queue and use a pop-out player. AirPlay can send karaoke to a compatible television while users browse songs and control the queue on an iPhone or iPad. Consumer Freemium and Premium plans are for private use; commercial use requires a Business license. Singa Business serves venues, schools, care homes and nonprofits, and its Business Box offers session and time management, kiosk mode and prepared playlists for karaoke rooms. Premium costs $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year; both renew automatically unless canceled, and prices may vary by country. Singa Pro costs €99 a month and includes professional use. Songs stream online and cannot be downloaded as audio or video files, and the service has no performance-recording feature. Singa is available on Android, iOS and web.
