Abstract (en)

A method of performing a karaoke function from an electronic communications device (2) comprises the steps of reading music data and providing a music signal, reading text data and presenting text on a display (5), receiving a voice signal, providing a first output signal comprising the music signal, providing a second output signal by mixing the music signal and the voice signal, and reproducing the first output signal for the user (6). The second output signal is further transmitted wirelessly from the electronic communications device to at least one further communications device (3), wherein the second output signal is received and reproduced for an audience. People listening to these further devices may be located at any location and still participate in the karaoke performance. Thus a more flexible karaoke performance is possible without restricting the participants to people located in one single location. <IMAGE>
