Abstract
A portable multimedia device stores multimedia content and sets of user preferences (“settings”) for one or more users (karaoke participants), on a title by title basis, that the one or more users may wish to apply upon playback of the content. The content and settings are initially stored in the portable device with the use of a practice playback system. Once this is done, the portable device may be transported and connected to any performance playback system. The portable device and the performance system may be operated to select and play back any title of content stored in the device, applying the corresponding stored set of user preferences for the user.
