Karaoke Songs & Resources

Legal places to find .KAR and MIDI songs, the Italian basi MIDI scene, making your own files, and keeping a library safe.

vanBasco’s Karaoke Player ships with no songs at all — it plays the .kar, .mid, .midi and .rmi files you bring to it, plus .vpl playlists you build from them. Finding good files legally, understanding the formats, and keeping a growing library organized are therefore part of using the player well.

The guides below cover legal free sources for MIDI karaoke files, the Italian basi MIDI scene, making your own .kar files, and practical ways to organize and back up a collection you have spent years building.
