FULL STORY ======================================================================

Amateur troubadours and divas rejoice! Music streaming service Spotify has begun rolling out an all-new karaoke mode for singing along to your favourite tracks, though it hasn't appeared for all users yet.

Fire up the feature when listening to a song on a mobile device and youll be provided with the tracks lyrics, with the app using your devices built-in microphone to monitor your voice.

For those looking to see how good their pitch is, the new mode also rates
your singing, giving you a score out of 100 for your accuracy.

The new feature builds upon the services recent addition of its Lyrics mode, whichallows listeners to see real-time song words displayed as the tune plays as well as letting you share them with friends.

The new karaoke option is the latest in a number of new features revealed by the service in recent weeks, with Spotify currently rolling out a Community tabfor mobile users , and the company also announcing plans to introduce audiobooks to the platform in the coming months.

The great news is that you dont need to be a premium Spotify subscriber to
use the new singalong feature, with the new karaoke mode appearing to be available even to users on the streaming services free tier.

Youll need to update the app to the latest version that was released for both Android and iOSyesterday to use the new functionality, though it looks like it's not enabled for everyone yet. Team TechRadar has yet to be blessed with the option of lighting up the office with our dulcet tones. At least, not
with Spotify's help.

To find it, fire up a song of your choosing, then select the lyrics option at the foot of the screen. Once the words to the song are displayed, youll be able to select the sing in the top right-hand corner of the screen
hopefully.

Once pressed, an audio analyzer display appears in the middle of screen, letting you know that your crooning is being monitored.

While the new feature appears to be in the process of being rolled out to users from all corners of the world, it really seems to be luck of the draw
if you can access it right now some Spotify users in the US and the UK have reported being able to get singing with the feature, while others from the same regions cant.
