How to access newly added songs

The KaraFun Business catalog is updated almost every day with newly available karaoke tracks. On average, around 400 songs are added to the platform every month. These updates happen automatically, with no action required on your part.

Where to Find New Songs

The newly added songs appear directly in the KaraFun Business app:

Open the KaraFun Business app on your connected device
Browse the catalog or use the search bar
Newly added tracks are immediately available for playback

Is There a “New Releases” Section?

Depending on your app version and configuration, you may see a dedicated section like “New Releases” or “Recently Added”.

How Many Songs Are Added Monthly?

The editorial team adds approximately 400 songs, covering a wide range of genres and languages, from international hits to local favorites.

Do I Need to Be Online?

Yes. An active internet connection is required to access the latest song updates. If you're using KaraFun in offline mode, you'll need to sync your catalog manually to retrieve new content.

What licenses are needed to play songs at my venue?

To legally offer karaoke to your customers using KaraFun Business, two types of licenses are usually required:

1. KaraFun Content License (Included in Subscription)

Your KaraFun Business subscription includes a license to use the karaoke tracks provided by the platform. KaraFun handles all necessary rights with music publishers and producers, including:

Synchronization rights
Mechanical reproduction rights
Master recording rights

This covers the songs within the KaraFun catalog only. You do not need to obtain additional rights for using KaraFun’s music library in a commercial context.

2. Local Public Performance License (Required Separately)

While KaraFun covers the content licensing, you are still required to obtain a public performance license from your country’s music rights organization. This license is mandatory for playing music in public venues like bars, hotels, or karaoke lounges.

Here are some examples by country:

Country	Licensing Agency
France	SACEM
Belgium	SABAM
Germany	GEMA
United Kingdom	PRS for Music + PPL
United States	ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR (varies by region)
Canada	SOCAN + Re:Sound

Why This Matters

Legal compliance: Performing rights organizations may fine businesses for unauthorized use of copyrighted material.
Artist support: Public performance licensing ensures composers and performers are compensated.
KaraFun Business + Local License = Fully Compliant Setup
