Q1. What are the benefits of Taranaa.com besides synchronized lyrics?
A1. There are numerous benefits besides synchronized lyrics:
Lowest Price Per Track. With a subscription, you get access to our entire library of karaoke tracks. The cost of individual songs becomes insignificant.
Instant Access. You could setup our software and download your favorite tracks within minutes. As and when we add more tracks to our library, you get those too! You do not have to run to a store and search for the tracks you are looking for. Nor do you have to order online and wait for 3 weeks for the shipment to arrive. If there is a new movie song that is heavily requested, you will get that first on Taranaa.com! The bottomline is you spend less time searching and more time singing.
No Overhead Costs or Taxes. With Taranaa.com you do not have to pay any shipping charges or sales tax. We do not sell you anything. You just pay for your subscription like you would pay your dues to a book library. Besides, there are no distributors, retailers or middlemen that have to be paid a commission. Our low cost of operation and distribution directly translates into a low cost of subscription for our members.
Ease Of Use. We have put a lot of effort in making our software easy to use. Even 8 year old kids are known to be using our product independently. You no longer have to collect, store and organize dozens of karaoke CDs. The new Taranaa Karaoke Player has a built-in track organizer that lets you organize your favorite tracks into playlists.
Internet Community. We are building an Internet community of like-minded people who cherish the joy of singing. The Star Of The Month and Song Of The Week sections are for those aspiring singers who are looking for better opportunities to rise and shine. Their performances will set an example and motivate you to sing better. Your comments and critique will help them improve their singing.
Music Lessons. Our unique product is a perfect tool for audio-visual instruction in music. The Hindustani Classical Music section is good for anyone, young or old, who would like to learn the basics of singing. Even a 5-year old child can read and sing the notation in Swaramaalikas. This is also very useful for those who would like to improve their skills through regular Riyaaz.
Q2. Why do you not offer karaoke tracks on audio CDs?
A2. Karaoke tracks on an audio CD are good only for those who have the time and patience to practice one song repeatedly along with the guide tracks. If you do not memorize the pauses, breaks and musical interludes, it is very likely for you to start singing a line earlier or later than necessary. Even one mistake can entirely throw you out of sync from which you could never recover unless you restart the song. Even renowned playback singers use on-stage music conductors who signal exactly when to pause or when to sing the next line after a musical interlude. Our effort is to bring the joy of music and singing to ordinary people who never had the time, tools or opportunity to sing. We believe that our karaoke tracks with synchronized lyrics are easy to use even for those who never tried to sing. The value of our offering lies not in the music alone, but in the synchronized lyrics as well. We therefore do not wish to break the model by separating the music from the synchronized lyrics and selling audio tracks on CDs.
Q3. How many tracks do you have in your library?
A3. Our karaoke track library is steadily growing. We regularly add more tracks based on member requests. Once we post new tracks, you can download them instantly using Taranaa Karaoke Player. For a complete listing of all available tracks in our library, please see Taranaa Song Index.
Q4. What operating systems are supported by Taranaa Karaoke Player?
A4. Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 and Mac OS X are supported. At this time Linux, Solaris are not supported.
Q5. Do I need broadband internet connection to use Taranaa?
A5. No, a broadband (DSL/Cable Modem) internet connection is not required. You could download and install Taranaa Karaoke Player locally on your computer. You could then download individual tracks and add them to a playlist which is automatically created and managed by the player. Having once downloaded a track, you could play it offline any number of times without having to connect to the Internet. Taranaa Karaoke tracks range from 4 to 20MBs in file size. So downlaoding tracks with braodband takes less than 20seconds, whereas dial-up modem can take 10 - 45 minutes per track download.
Q6. How do I subscribe to Taranaa.com?
A6. Start with installing and registering Taranaa Karaoke Player on your personal computer. Try a few Free Sample Tracks before you actually buy a subscription so as to completely test your system setup. Once you are satisfied with your setup, you can initiate subscription purchase from Taranaa Karaoke Player itself. Open Subscription menu and click Buy License. This will bring up Internet Explorer and take you to our License Server. After you read the licensing policy and subscription information click a suitable BuyNow button. This will take you to PayPal (an eBay.com company) for online credit card payment. Once you complete your transaction, you can unlock the player by clicking Get License from the TKP subscription menu.
For stepwise instructions please see the Quick Installation Guide
Q7. After I subscribe can I use Taranaa Karaoke tracks on any computer?
A7. No you cannot. Your subscription allows you to download Subscription Tracks using Taranaa Karaoke Player installed on your computer. The subscription license is specific to your registered player and it cannot be ported or transfered from one machine to another. If you have 3 computers and would like to use Taranaa Karaoke Player on all 3 of them, you will need 3 separate licenses.
Q8. What happens after my subscription expires?
A8. A subscription is governed by the license that you purchase. It has a fixed expiration date of say 1, 3, 6 or 12 months from the date of your purchase. After the subscription expires, you may not use Taranaa Karaoke Player to play the tracks that you have downloaded or download any more tracks that we will add to our collection. We expect you to renew your subsrciption in order to continue to use our low-cost services.
Q9. Can I burn your audio tracks on a CD to use in a performance?
A9. Yes you may. Taranaa Karaoke Player comes with a built-in recording feature that could be used to record a track (with or without your vocals) into a .wav file. You could burn a .wav file on an audio CD using 3rd party software such as Nero, Roxio, Windows Media Player etc. You could even convert a .wav file into MP3 file using Wave to MP3 conversion software. However, we strongly recommend taking your laptop to your performance and using the audio-visual karaoke tracks rather than using audio-only music tracks. This frees you from having to remember not only the lyrics, but also exactly how long to wait for musical interludes and when to start a new line.
Q10. What speakers should I use?
A10. A good brand of PC speakers with sub-woofer is recommended. The sub-woofer helps reproduce the original digital sound recording. For private listening you may as well use good quality Studio Monitor headphones. The headphones output from your PC could as well be amplified through a home stereo system.
Q11. How do I connect my PC/latop to my home audio system?
A11. Use the stereo headphones output of your PC/laptop as input to your home audio system. The cable shown below is commonly called MP3 stereo connector. Observe the 2 black rings on the 1/8" plug for stereo (Left/Right) output.
You may also use a pair of 1/4" monoaural Inline Adapters to plug the audio cable into professional amplifier systems.
Q12. Why does the lyrics synchronization sometimes run ahead of the actual music in Taranaa Karaoke Player?
A12. The Karaoke track playback is very CPU-intensive. CPUs faster than 2.0Ghz do not pose synchronization problems. For slower CPUs make sure you are not running any other application or background service. Shut down internet connectivity and disable anti-virus programs during playback. This ensures that the player gets due CPU cycles. Also turn off the screen saver so that a track playback is not interrupted due to keyboard/mouse inactivity.
