This is a suggested karaoke set list for Barack Obama.
We read online that Steve Jobs is meeting with Barack Obama at the white house, and we thought that some Karaoke using ARIA software on a MAC would be a great ice breaker!
Here is a suggested karaoke set list for Barack:
- Relax – Frankie Goes to Hollywood
- Our House- Madness
- Hey You – Pink Floyd
- Against All Odds – Phil Collins
- I’m Still Standing – Elton John
- Cult of Personality – Living Colour
Now if Steve only brings an iPhone, and if the pres happens to be on Android, or the whitehouse only has PC’s… No Big deal, as ARIA works on all of these platforms, and all of the songs on this list are available for purchase and download right in the app!
P.S. Hey Barack and Steve, just email us at info(at)ariaparty.com with the email you used to purchase tracks and we will reimburse you!
Also by the way, ARIA is a great DJ mixing software and VJ software too. So when you guys put the mic down you can always fire off a nice mix from your set list!

ARIA karaoke CD + G ripping.
This blog post is about converting a karaoke CD, to files that can be stored on a computer, or external hard drive and used with Aria software, (karaoke mode).
NOTE: As of Aria build 1.1 there is no built in karaoke ripping feature, and Aria does not play CD+G discs from the CD drive.
Are you trying to convert a karaoke CD+G disc? Many Aria customers use Audiograbber – which will convert a standard karaoke CDG into an MP3+G, which you can then play in ARIA. You can download Audiograbber here (it’s free!):
And here are instructions on what settings to use.
Please note that Audiograbber, is a PC or windows only application.
If you use Aria on a Mac, you should consider using the built in Karaoke Locker song store to purchase karaoke songs that are already “ripped” and ready to play in Aria.
Most CD drives don’t support the function of ripping the + G or graphical component of a file from a karaoke CD, so in most cases you need to use an external drive and the whole process gets messy and time consuming.
