kJams is a nice karaoke tool, a jukebox for Mac OS X. It`s just like iTunes, except there`s also karaoke lyrics on the screen (or on the TV) that follow along with the song, showing you what to sing next.
Typically you buy special CDG discs to use for karaoke, which are just like regular CD`s except they have graphics in them too, showing you song lyrics.
You put the CDG into your mac and play it, or you can "rip" the songs (ie: import them from the CDG onto the mac`s hard drive), then you can play them whenever you want even without the CDG.
Made for Macintosh OS X! kJams was the first true karaoke (CDG) program made for Mac OS X. It is still the only professional karaoke software for mac. If you need a professional Macintosh solution and you`re a KJ running shows, kJams is clearly the very best of what`s available.
