Product overview

SongHub is a karaoke platform built around personal song collections. The public PC repository presents a free Windows player that works offline, while the Android repository describes a hybrid interface for phones, tablets, and Android/Google TV. A separate Smart Link Remote project turns an Android device into a companion controller for SongHub PC, SongHub Legacy, and compatible MegaOke setups.

Core features

• Import and scan folders containing your own MIDI, MP3, MP4, CDG, or Chorus files into a searchable library.
• Find songs by number, title, or artist, optionally filter duplicates, and manage a reservation queue.
• Show two-line or four-line lyrics with per-word highlighting, title and next-song screens, background video, fullscreen mode, and configurable score styles.
• Control key, tempo, melody, chorus/MPX, playback, lyric presentation, and media from the main app or Smart Link Remote.
• Use Android-specific options such as D-pad navigation, custom .sf2 soundfonts, MP4/MP3 playback, lyric styling, and video, slideshow, USB, or camera backgrounds.

How to use

1. Download the release for Windows or Android/Google TV.
2. Add your own legally obtained song folders; on PC, create a User Library Content Database and scan the folders.
3. Search the resulting list, choose a song, and add it to the queue or play it immediately.
4. Sing with synchronized lyrics, adjust musical controls, and use Smart Link from another device when remote operation is useful.
