 * Authority**
 * The MIDI Karaoke Library is a <.com> site. This seems to have been produced as a website for collectors/fans of Karaoke.
 * The author of this site isn’t mentioned, nor is the administrator, but it seems likely that it’s a collaborative effort of the people who use the library.
 * Since we don’t know any of the authors, it’s impossible to judge the accuracy of their credentials.


 * Instructional Content**
 * This site provides its viewers with two categories of information:
 * Free Karaoke files
 * The author’s description of the history of Karaoke
 * The only part of this site that would need sources would be the history of Karaoke, and this doesn’t mention any references that were used, let alone the author of the history.
 * National Standards:
 * Standard 1: Singing, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music.
 * Standard 2: Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music.

 * Purpose, Viewpoint**
 * This page was created to provide the public with a database of free Karaoke MIDI files for personal use.
 * This page is sponsored by //Ads by Google//.
 * The author isn’t trying to portray any particular viewpoint; the website is simply a resource.
 * There is no bias evident in this page. The goal is to provide a free library for the public’s use.


 * Reputation**
 * Links to this website appear only in people’s personal blogs.
 * It’s hard to verify the reputation of the blogs as sources since most of the blogs are in a foreign language.


 * Overall Evaluation**
 * Overall I think that this site is a great resource for everybody – musicians and non-musicians alike. It provides a source of Karaoke MIDI files, the use of which could fulfill several National Standards through performance, analysis and evaluation.
