Quick note for everyone who's emailed (and there have been a lot of you): yes, the karaoke CDG2MP4 converter is offline right now. I know. I'm sorry. It was genuinely useful and then one day it wasn't there.

Here's the honest version of what happened. The old tool leaned on a server, a background queue, and Amazon S3 to do its thing. Some hosting issues knocked it over, and keeping that setup alive turned into more babysitting than I had time for. Rather than leave a half-broken tool up, I took it down.

The good news: I'm not just patching the old thing. I'm rebuilding it so this can't happen again.

The new version does the whole conversion **right in your browser**, with no server and no storage in the middle. That means nothing to run up a bill, nothing to fall over, and your files never leave your device. It's the kind of thing that can just keep working for years without me touching it, which is exactly what this tool should have been all along.

It's close. I'll post again the moment it's live, and it'll be free, like before. Maybe I’ll add some paid tiers for storage and sharing. And I’m also rebuilding the new main Karaokio web app too. More news on that to come…

Thanks for being patient, and thanks for caring about a niche little karaoke tool enough to chase me down about it. Back soon.
