Developer’s Description

By ideographer.com

Listen to songs & watch the lyrics, karaoke style.

KaraTunes is an add-on for iTunes allowing users to place all of their lyrics data into a single database which can then be saved, modified and searched with an easy-to-use interface. It automatically finds lyrics from online lyrics databases for the whole iTunes Library. Users can create synced lyrics (in the LRC format) and watch them while iTunes is playing. Version 3.1 allows users to export music and synced lyrics as QuickTime movies to watch on the Mac, PC and iPhone/iPod touch. In additional, users can now set delay time for synced lyrics playback and use customized keywords for Google search.

Can't Say I USED it! Purchased over six months ago...

Summary
...<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />KaraTunes NEVER worked properly and the unproperly working was for, let's see, two days, perhaps. Then there was a problem with the registration. Contacted the vendor who NEVER responded so I just lost however much it was I paid for this trash! Finally, I saw an update to version 3.2.0 and thought perhaps this "posing as a developer" person was redeeming itself. NOT! There is no way to download this application to my MacPro. The zip file comes in via VersionTracker Pro but cannot be opened. The website - well - the website doesn't get as far in the download process as a penney does in buying MJ's Neverland Ranch. I have had it with "posing as a developer" Rip-Offs. This application and support is less than what you might find as Mr. Commode's dinner table. FED UP!
It Use To Work

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have owned the produce for more than a year. It has become better and better while using iTunes 6. With the introduction of iTunes 7.0 KaraTunes has become his or miss. Either it gets the song or most often the beachball spins on and on. I contacted KaraTunes twice. Neither times did I receive any type of message. At this time, KaraTunes does not work with iTunes 7. If you are using iTunes 6, KaraTunes is a very good program.
Has potential

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have been using KaraTunes for a couple of months. I believe the program has potential but needs more work. It does search the LyraTunes data base and pull up some lyrics. There are mistakes however, and a disappointing low number of lyrics found. The developer states he is working to include more lyric bases into the program which will help. It is advertised that Google searching is available, but I have not been able to get it to work for the data base as a whole and may just be on a tune by tune basis. I will continue to follow KaraTunes as I believe the developer has a good vision and may be able to come up with a great app.
Can't Register Product - Solved

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />If anyone using Panther, specifically 10.3.7 in my case, from a Non Admin account has a problem registering the app try this. Quit Karatunes, - Go to the preference file - Get Info (cmd + I) - Set Privileges to: Owner (yourusername) Read & Write Group (Admin) Read & Write Others Read Only - Then launch Karatunes and enter registration info After that it should work fine. I did a permissions repair using disk utility, as per the developers suggestion but that didn't fix it. This is a very promising app and would now give it 4 stars, 5 if not for the registration problems

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This looks like it would be great but registration has issues. The developer responded promptly even on a Sunday, Feb 6th, suggesting I repair permissions. I did but that didn't help. I responded back immediatly but I haven't heard anything in a week. Has anyone had this problem? 1- Launch KaraTunes 2- Get Error: WFD3 3- Click OK 4- Get "We Need Your Support" Dialog ( even though I entered the serial number already ) 5- Click OK 6- Get Demo Dialog 7- Click OK 8- Select "Enter Serial Number..." 9- I enter my name and serial number 10- Click OK 11- Get Error: L1W 12- Get "Thank You For Your Support" Dialog 13- Click "Show All" (Then it shows more then 10 songs) 14- Quit 15- Error "Failed to write to preferences file" 16- Next Launch (Starts over on step 2) This app is worthless if you can only have the lyrics to 10 songs especially when I paid for it to do more.
Good Job

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It works as advertised. No stability problems. This gets me closer to what I need. The import tool has not worked for me, but I have a very large itunes library of 7000+ songs. The search and dowload button works-if the song you want lyrics for happens to exist on their lyric site. I find about 20% of lyrics from the canned search using the button. Otherwise, its easy to find a lyrics site and simply copy the lyrics over. This will do until either Apple or a 3rd party finally gives us a reliable tool that will display lyrics in the visualizer.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />There was a nice program called iLyric; however, it had a lot of bugs and didn't keep developing. The KaraTunes supports unicode is better than iLyric. I would like to leave 5 stars for the great project.
