A subsidiary of Stingray Digital Media Group, they are the

Pros:

- The best thing about The Karaoke Channel is unlike file-sharing services, where integrity and quality of files swapped isn't guaranteed and copyright compliance is hazy at best, the Karaoke Channel produces its own high quality files and guarantees their quality and integrity, as well as the licensing.

- Second, these files are free of hidden viruses.

- Third, you can store purchases in your 'digital locker'.
  And return to re-play them.

Cons:

- While you can 'save to your digital locker', remember you
  may only access those items 25x each 'per type of file'.

- Depending on your child this could be a pro or con.
  Minimum age for use is - 13. Date of birth required.

- You may discover, when ordering, that some audio or video files may be unavailable to you. They are licensed on a per country basis. And may be unavailable in the country which your credit card is issued.

Summary:

This is great gift for a variety of ages and groups. From aspiring singers to adults who want to use it for party fun or for kid's parties.  Excellent for family gatherings. Even for large functions, events,  birthday, retirement parties.
