Karaoke Eternal

Self-hosted karaoke party system with browser-based song queueing and playback

Alternative to: karafun, singa

Karaoke Eternal lets you host karaoke parties where everyone can find and queue songs from their phone's browser, no app install required. The player itself is also fully browser-based, with support for MP3+G, MP4 videos and WebGL visualizations. The server is self-hosted and runs on nearly any hardware, from a Raspberry Pi to a home server.
