Just downloaded source and built this to play around with it. I was a bit surprised that the first thing it did when I ran it was to start downloading binaries from the internet. It went off to fetch FFMpeg from some remote server, but I already have FFMpeg installed. Then it tried and failed to install its own Python interpreter, which is another thing that's already present on the system. How come this is trying to…

I mean... Sounds pretty clearly vibed from this description. Funnily enough this is touted as a feature, not a bug:

> Single binary > ffmpeg, Python, PyTorch, and the ML models are all bootstrapped on first launch. Nothing to install.

Similar software existed at the time of windows 95. A pentium 2 could do it.

Karaoke software? Sure. Karaoke software that automatically extracts vocals? Heck no.

That removed them though…

It's not open source if it has to download binaries from the internet to run.

I agree with the sentiment but that definition would make open source Windows programs not open source either.

Why? Apparently even the build scripts download stuff here…

I've been working on a karaoke app called Nightingale. You point it at your music folder and it turns your songs into karaoke - separates vocals from instrumentals, generates word-level synced lyrics, and lets you sing with highlighted lyrics and pitch scoring. Works with video files too. Everything runs locally on your machine, nothing gets uploaded. No accounts, no subscriptions, no telemetry. It ships as a single…

Can you bypass the LRCLIB lookup and always use Whisper?

>How come this is trying to install its own vendored dependencies, including executable binaries, instead of checking for what's already installed? That approach can lead to both security and performance issues. Because the person who vibecoded this had no idea they should have been doing that.

hey both! thanks for your feedback and reports, I'd be happy if they are added as issues on github. as said in the separate comment, I really wanted an app to be as "grandma-proof" as possible, therefore I really wanted to have one binary that does the magic for you. it's a karaoke app, not a tool that is aimed at engineers. we can indeed look at the local packages before downloading an executable, it's just not done…

Dog ate your shift key?

Interesting, what was it called and how effective was it?

My wife is a huge karaoke fan. I'm especially interested in the pitch scoring since we usually play the karaoke games on older consoles for that exact feature. Nobody really makes games like that anymore without a subscription (and most of these good modern karaoke platforms are exclusive to east asia anyways). If this works well this could make for some really fun social events, looking forward to trying this.

I don’t want to take away from OPs project (which seems really nice) but have you tried Ultrastar Deluxe ( https://usdx.eu/ ) in combination with USDB ( https://usdb.animux.de/ )? There’s also a program for automatically downloading the songs: https://github.com/bohning/usdb_syncer

Many thanks for sharing, I'll have to check it out this weekend. Do you have much hands on with it? Curious how much fiddling is required when using it. Haven't had a chance to run OP's either but my dream is to find something that's as intuitive to use as the older games. Even modern karaoke software you'll get at karaoke bar usually requires me or my wife to operate it for the entire rest of the group with how complicated everything is haha.

You’re not showing them it’s at your house

I'm not talking about public performance licenses.

No one thinks it’s legal to use this for public kareoke…
