E-Songbook is a device such as a phone or a tablet that connects to a karaoke player to select, reserve, and play the songs. Until now however, the E-Songbook required an app to connect to a karaoke player. And since the app was hardware specific, a different karaoke player or a different phone or tablet required a different app. This complexity discouraged customers from using their phones and tablets and led to the karaoke hosts providing E-Songbooks that are pre-installed with apps.

The E-Songbooks were also prone to connection failure, delays, and incompatibility. The connection failure came from non-standard app designs. The delays came from increasing contents. The incompatibility came from exploding varieties of new phones and tablets in the market.

The built-in web server of the PlayCDG Online solves the problems above. The devices can now connect to the player using standardized web browsers such as Apple Safari, Google Chrome, or MS Edge. Apps are no longer required. The connection is built upon the worldwide TCP/IP standard protocol, is fast and efficient, and supports all models of phones and tablets.

The Customer Interface that appears when a phone or tablet connects to the PlayCDG Online is as follows.

It has the controls to search, reserve, play the songs, and also to change the pitch, tempo, and voice cancel. The controls are selectable in the privilege settings.

With the ease of connecting, there comes also the savings. The hosts no longer need to prepare the E-Songbooks. The customers can now use their phones or tablets with ease. The savings will continue as the hosts also do not need to replace the E-Songbooks that are dropped or drowned.

Through the option setting, PlayCDG Online also provides multiple privilege levels through which the customers can connect to the player. The lowest is to browse the song list but without the privilege to reserve or play the songs. The highest is to have all controls which is usually assigned to the hosts. All can connect to the player at the same time and enjoy the karaoke within their different privilege levels.

A karaoke player typically plays the audio and video through the HDMI, VGA, or RCA outputs of the player. The lyrics show on a TV and the music sounds through the speakers.

PlayCDG Online with a built-in web server however can stream the audio and video outputs at the same time as it plays. That is, it can stream the music and lyrics to the phones and tablets that are connected in a network. The phones and tablets will then play the music and lyrics using their own screens and speakers becoming mini portable karaoke players.

With streaming, the customers connected to PlayCDG Online are not tied to a center TV or a main stage. They are free to move around carrying the lyrics and music from their own phones and tablets. They can enjoy the karaoke anywhere, i.e., outdoor, pool side, on deck, etc.

PlayCDG Online also allows customer to connect using Internet rather than a local network. This enables the customers from far away locations to join together online, for example, families and friends who are apart across the states.
