| Post subject: | Mini-CDG Player? |
Folks... I made the mistake of going into Best Buy to buy a last minute present (my daughter wanted the Spongebob Soundtrack for her B-Day) what a mad house! Anyways... I was browsing... yes... only browsing... Best Buy is not the cheapest place to buy... Anyway... I saw a little DVD/CD player... a little square thing..., it obviously doesn't play CDG's graphic side... But it would be neat to have a very small and portable unit. 1) As a back up. 2) For small house parties at my friends of family when I don't want to carry the whole rack. 3) Because I love gadgets. Has any of you seen something like this? Thanks, |

I've seen a little sucker that's about the size of an X-Box... In fact, I bought one and gave it away as a final present in a ongoing "raffle" type contest I used to run. Cost about $40. and it DID cd+g format. Haven't seen a cheap AND small dvd player that will recognize karaoke. Apex is a home player that will see it... most of their stuff will. At least they used to. Check out the links on the left side... the sponsors. Acekaraoke.com has some cheap units that would be fine for home use, and maybe an emergency backup. |

Went to WalMart yesterday and saw.. well some empty spots on the shelf where there used to be a couple of $29.95 "CD+G Mini Karaoke Players". They also had a $19.95 one that used cassette tapes. Looked like one of those 'mini-boom boxes' with a fairly cheap plug-in mic. I nearly snagged one for my 6-yr old niece who wants to be a 'rock star', but I decided to wait on one of the CD versions. Now, even though the $29.95 versions SAID they were 'cd+g' players, I kind of doubt they really were. Probably just basic cd players with a sing-along mic... BUT, it would be cool for a kid to play with because you could make them custom cds and let them sing along for fun. I wish they hadn't been out of stock so I could have seen if they had hookups for a monitor or something. |
