Karaoke Fun With the Karaoke Music Sky Application From MelOn

After coming up with the app Music Sky which is an application streaming music, now Melon introduces the Karaoke version of Langit Musik. Langit Musik Karaoke is an application that has karaoke features for devices mobile devices by displaying the video and lyrics of a song accompanied by minus one vocal (without vocals) of the song so that users can karaoke fun only through the device mobile devices they. This application can be downloaded for free on Android devices with the operating system 2.3 and above on Android Google Play and can only be used by customers Telkomsel.

This application is the result of cooperation between Virtus System as the developer, Telkomsel as a data service provider, MelOn as a music content provider, and Asirindo as content owner. Virtus System itself has been before release a game related to the song that is Museekr. In Museekr, users can play a song guessing quiz between registered users or register via their Facebook account directly real-time relying on an internet connection.

The appearance and concept of the Langit Musik Karaoke application is simple, users will be asked to register first through the application and then they can start singing. When first run, there is a circular menu on the start page containing Profile, Rating, History and a Start button with an image microphone in the middle and display the total points and points average held at the bottom of the page. Application users can start karaoke by making a payment of IDR 1.100. Then the score will be displayed like when we karaoke in the Karaoke Box. The difference in this app that the score displayed is the calories burned while singing.

Alex from Virtus System as the developer of LM Karaoke, told DailySocial, "Of app In this case, we are trying to show something different, namely by displaying the results of burning calories from singing activities that have been done by Si user, we get this figure by measuring based on decibel from user while singing."

After selecting the Start menu then the user can see a list of popular songs from the application. If there is no preferred song in the list, users can take advantage of the search feature in the upper right corner to search for the song they want to sing. In addition, there is a Preview feature so users can see video clips of the song they want to sing first.

One thing that caught my attention was when I tried to register at the beginning of the application using a Wi-Fi connection. At the beginning of the application running there is a form fill in the phone number and Password to register, but after following the procedure and getting a confirmation sms I can't enter the application. After I looked back, it turned out that in the confirmation sms sent to smartphone i contain Password different from Password which I typed at the time of registration. I don't know this bugs or not, but if you just want to register through a number, what's the point? password form if we can't choose freely Password we alone?

Alex revealed that the LM Karaoke song database might be different from the Langit Musik application because not all songs that are downloadedstreaming there was made a karaoke video and not all songs were given the right to use for commercial karaoke. For the sales model, it is still possible to develop a package model for singing once with many songs.

The online and mobile-based karaoke market is fairly new in Indonesia and all players are still groping about the business model in this segment.

"This model could be developed in the future, because this is the first application (it feels) in Indonesia that provides paid karaoke services through smartphones, we don't yet have a standard price that can be used as a reference in determining the price to run this app," added Alex.
