No you do not have to have them in the same folder as your Kma files.
You can have a seperate folder or multiple folders, it's your choice.

The option to allow you a choice of whether to use KMA or KMH again is yours.
The advantage with kmh files is if you already have a lot of zip,mp3+g or even none karaoke files the kmh file uses very little extra storage space to index your files and is far quicker importing them plus KMH files do NOT duplicate the original files which other programs can use. The kma file can only be used in Hoster, and in the case of a zip or mp3+g file if you import them as Kma you now have doubled your storage space unless you delete the original zip or mp3+g file.
Also the importing time is far longer for kma as it is rewriting the whole file, depending on the speed of your computer a KMH file will index a song in about 1.5 seconds against kma taking 30 seconds per song.
If you are only importing about 20 songs not a lot of difference but multiply this by 10,000 and there is a huge difference.
