Why are some songs or artists not available on Singa?

Singa strives to provide a wide selection of songs to its users, but not all songs or artists are always available. This is mainly due to licensing restrictions and decisions by rights holders. Below is an overview of the reasons and Singa's actions to improve the situation.

The availability of songs depends on licensing agreements with rights holders, such as publishers and artists. Sometimes rights holders decide not to allow their songs to be used in karaoke, which affects both personal and commercial use. For example, many Taylor Swift songs are not available in commercial karaoke because they are not licensed for this purpose. This restriction applies to the entire industry, not just Singa.

The availability of some songs, such as classic versions (e.g. Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Elton John), may vary by region. This is because licensing agreements are often made on a country-by-country basis, which can limit the visibility of certain songs in certain regions. For example, in the United States and the United Kingdom, only modern versions of classic songs may be available.

Sometimes songs or artists that were previously available may be removed from the catalog when the license agreement expires and is not renewed. This is a common reason why some users cannot find songs that were previously available.

Singa is constantly working to expand its catalog of songs. New songs are added almost daily, and the company is actively negotiating with rights holders to make more popular songs available to users. While no specific timeline can be given, Singa is committed to improving the user experience and providing the most diverse catalog possible.
