How to Add Songs: MIDI, KAR, and MP3+G

LaSing Karaoke plays files you own, which means building your song library is a one-time project with a lifetime payoff. Get the LaSing Karaoke APK and start with the formats below. The app understands the three karaoke formats Filipino collectors use most: MIDI files with separate lyric data, KAR files with lyrics embedded, and MP3+G pairs that combine audio with graphics.

Copying files to your phone

Start by creating the app folder on your phone if the app has not made one already. Copy your files in using any file manager, or plug the phone into a computer for faster bulk transfer. Organize with subfolders like OPM, Love Songs, Party, and Duets. The app scans on launch and lists everything it finds.

Growing the library with community packs

Community song packs shared on Filipino forums are how most singers build big libraries fast, including OPM collections for LaSing Karaoke. Stick to well-known shares, scan anything you download, and keep a backup of your folder on a computer or SD card. Your future self, mid-fiesta, will thank you.

Naming files the smart way

File naming is the difference between a library you love and one you abandon. Name every file as Artist - Title so the app sorts sensibly: "Regine Velasquez - Dadalhin" beats "track_042.mid" every time. For MP3+G pairs, keep the .mp3 and .cdg files in the same folder with identical names or the lyrics will not load. One misplaced file means one silent song.

Where to find more songs

Wondering where Filipino singers actually find MIDI and KAR files? Long-running Pinoy forums and Facebook groups share curated OPM packs, often organized by artist or decade. Start with the classics: Eraserheads, Rivermaya, APO Hiking Society, and Sharon Cuneta never leave a playlist. Check that downloads are clean before copying them to your phone, and keep your own backup on a laptop.

Playlists for every occasion

When your collection passes a few hundred songs, subfolders stop being enough. Use the app's favorites or queue features to build occasion lists: one for family reunions heavy on OPM ballads, one for barkada nights with upbeat novelty songs. Update the lists after each kantahan while the hits are fresh in memory. Your future self will open the right list instead of scrolling for ten minutes. Once your library is built, our LaSing Karaoke offline mode shows how to take the whole songbook anywhere with zero internet.
