We miss them as much as you do...
Why are some important titles missing from the catalog?
Despite all our efforts, some writers (or their legal representatives) do not want companies like KaraFun to use their music for karaoke singing. We would love to add those songs to our catalog (we already have the karaoke for most of them), but we have to respect the right holders' will and can't put their music online without risking serious backlash.
We hope our constant efforts to raise the quality of the catalog we offer, along with your support will change their mind.
Here's a list of the works that you won't find on KaraFun and other legal karaoke services (until we are allowed to do so).
