Here are a number of websites where you can buy downloads of karaoke songs:
buykaraokedownloads - These folks boast of 20,000 titles. Prices are probably the best around, $0.99 to $1.99 each, with a 20% discount if you buy more than 5 songs at a time. I use this site frequently, basically because it was the first karaoke download site that I found. And the prices are cheap. And I'm a cheapskate.
mp3gmusic, tricerasoft.com - These are two addresses apparently for the same site. This site has 36,000 titles. Prices are $1.99. One benefit to this site is that they tell you right up front which company produced the song, which is helpful, since CDG's vary a lot in quality. Tricerasoft, by the way, makes karaoke hosting software.
selectatrack - These folks claim to have the largest library on the web, but rumor has it they have only 13,846. I couldn't find a number on their site. As with mp3gmusic, you can tell which company created the music. Unlike the previous two, however, you don't know what it will cost until you put the song in your cart. The company is out of Normandy, so if you are in the US, the cost will be further affected by the exchange rate and foreign transaction fees on your credit card. I bought three songs from them, and it cost $9.41.
karaoke.com - This is a long-established seller of karaoke disks, but in the past few years that started selling downloads as well. Songs sell for $2.99 each, or $0.88 each for 3 or more. Interesting pricing structure. You can pay $2.99 for one song, or three for $0.35 less. Hmmm... My impression is that their current library is not huge - when I look for specific songs, I often come up empty handed. Another drawback is that all their titles seem to be on the iKaraoke label, which apparently is their own.
Amazon - You may have seen that you can download karaoke songs from Amazon.com. When I checked today, they had 3,862 songs available for $0.99 each. Good price, but they don't come with the lyrics files... just the music.
