1. well firstly id say: dont do it! we tried it as a band sounds shite!!!!!!!!!!!! so if you want to id say get a mic or something. but like if you have a system why bother? the quality will be better on the system than on the laptop any day.
2. First you need one of these- http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102974 Run it from the line-level output of your karaoke machine to the line-in of you sound card. Next, download this- http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows You are all set.
