About Karaoke Mugen
Karaoke Mugen is a karaoke party management system centered on anisongs (anime songs). It handles playlists, lyrics display, and two session modes: private, where everyone can add favorite songs to a running playlist that plays in order, and public, where a DJ chooses songs from suggestions made by the audience on their own devices. The homepage says it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and that its interface works in recent browsers, on tablets, and on smartphones.
Once installed, configured, and up to date, the homepage says it does not need an internet connection. Installation, configuration, and updates do require one. The homepage describes the application as open source, with sources on GitLab. Pricing information is not listed.
