People who think they can sing don't need to line up for "American Idol" anymore.

And if they still want to strut their stuff in front of judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, they have a number of ways to practice -- not just in the shower.

While the karaoke business has been around for decades, new technology is making it more widespread and accessible.

Singers can turn iPods into portable karaoke machines. They can also have their performances rated by the Karaoke Revolution game on the PlayStation and Xbox game machines.
