Disk Jockeys or DJs are entertainers who specialize in playing back pre-recorded music for dances and other special events. The art of the DJ lies in choosing music selections that will please a given audience, and in "mixing" to provide a pleasant interface between the songs. Some DJs also make announcements or remix (rearrange the contents of) songs as part of their show.

DJs use specialized equipment manufactured for their purposes. This includes turntables, CD players, mixers, and karaoke equipment. DJ equipment is typically more shock resistant than the consumer equivalents, as it is regularly transported and is used in high vibration situations. DJ equipment also includes special mixing and queuing capabilities not found in consumer equipment.

Karaoke is an entertainment in which amateur performers sing popular songs to a pre-recorded accompaniment. This is typically, though not necessarily, done in a public place such as a night club.

Karaoke recordings are specially produced to include a variety of popular songs from which the lead vocals have been omitted. They come in a variety of formats including tape, CD, CD+G, and VCD.

Karaoke equipment is designed for the playback of karaoke recordings. It comes in a variety of formats and styles. There are professional and amateur grades of equipment; some are intended for use by professional KJs (karaoke jocks) in clubs while some are intended for personal practicing or in-home entertainment.

There are many parts in entertainment industry equipment that are too obscure to be generally available and must be purchased from a specialized dealer or manufacturer.
