I went to a Christmas party and friends had this karaoke system. I Was hooked and got my own. Wow! What fun. This is the best way to get family and friends together. You can have family night and sing the night away. Over 2000 songs built in plus free chip with 255 more songs. You can add more song chips and increase your song library. You don't have to get up to change the songs just enter the song number and there's your song. People say the song chips are expensive. But you get lots of songs on a chip. One cd with 15 or so songs can cost you 25 to 30$. So I think the chips are great, at least for me. So easy to take with you and start karaokeing.
