Zoom Karaoke Introduction
The Zoom Karaoke label is massive. Without a shadow of a doubt, the Karaoke Info team thinks this beats all other manufacturers. Not just by a little bit, but by a country mile!
While Sunfly Karaoke seems to be the most famous karaoke label, Zoom Karaoke has to be second in this league. Although this may be true now (2014), we suspect Zoom will be fighting for the overall title. Of course, we don’t know how the future of karaoke will pan out yet!
Yes, Zoom Karaoke is still making karaoke discs like Sunfly. They also have an active website that is easy to navigate. Karaoke Info will always encourage you to buy directly from the current manufacturers. Indeed, our reviewers are unbiased and support all karaoke makers.
Apart from the sheer quality of Zoom Karaoke tracks, another big attraction is that they don’t fade out. In other words, the majority have a definitive end to the song. How often have you been to a karaoke venue, and the song fades out only for the singer to continue while the passage of music is fading out? You don’t get that with Zoom!
We have songbooks for your disc collection below. Moreover, we also have a comprehensive digital songbook to complement that. Releasing so many discs, Zoom has song duplications amongst their releases. This is normal for karaoke firms.
Our digital songbooks list the tracks according to the manufacturer’s code. We list the song just once. Therefore, you can eliminate the dupes much easier. For example, we list You To Me Are Everything by The Real Thing seven times in the disc collection.
Zoom’s Official Website
The “Zoom Entertainments” Karaoke website is easy to understand and navigate. It’s modern, bright, and well thought out. You can even sample the tracks before you buy them.
The ‘try before you buy’ option is an excellent touch because you can be sure the song is the one you want. You find the track, press play, and as if by magic, a karaoke screen will pop up with a snippet of the song.
You can buy the odd karaoke track, complete discs from the back catalogue, or even one of their packs. By all means, go to the Zoom Entertainments website and buy their products. We are sure you will have a pleasant surprise.
Zoom Karaoke Is Excellent
The staff here at Karaoke Info are mostly in retirement nowadays, but we still do the odd gig. The majority of us have complete sets from Zoom, of course. That is because you can run a karaoke show using just their collections!
We will review the odd track from Zoom Karaoke, but we all know they will score highly. Before we move on to the review, we will continue with further info about the CDGs.
There are a few dupes, which you can avoid by inspecting our list of discs and songbooks.

Zoom Karaoke Review
When we told the staff here at Karaoke Info that we were reviewing the Zoom Karaoke discs, some looked quite surprised. That is because we all know what to expect with these CDGs. Be that as it may, a review was soon underway.
When this firm started to operate, it was as if it knew the magic formula for success from day one. The splash screen is as neat as you will get. It shows the company name, song title, writer, and website address.
You get a countdown seconds before the song begins. You also get the same on the instrumental parts of the song—that way, you know exactly where to start singing. The end screen is as definitive as the music, with another neat screen similar to the splash screen.
It’s a simple formula, but it works!
The backing music is perfect for the majority of songs. Also, the on-screen lyrics match the beat impeccably. The words are big, bold, and usually white on a black background. The words change to blue for the singer to follow.
The artwork is fantastic overall. Sure, some of the sleeves and CDGs look similar, but on the whole, we can’t fault their effort.
Karaoke Song Sample
Although we may use numerous songs for the review, we only provide one sample video to represent the label. So, the song sample for our video presentation is ZTP009-11 – Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich – Legend Of Xanadu.
Videos are subject to change!
