You only have to look at the photos of the Shiny Media Christmas party held at Lucky Voice in London to see just how much we get into our karaoke, so with news today that Emerson have launched a new microphone converter to work with DVDs and iPods made us all a tad bit overexcited. Priced at just $29.95, you can connect the converter to any DVD player or video-capable MP3 player – for instance iPods, allowing your own crooning to blend with whatever tunes you have clogging up your iPod. You can also pick up a ‘Rockin’ Party’ 16 song DVD to sing along to if you are one of the fortunate unfortunate souls who haven’t yet succombed to Steve Jobs’s persuasive ways.
