(1) Since I am starting from scratch can I get the ID #'s to be consecutive?

I'm afraid you can't alter a disc id or book id without reimporting from the original source. If they were originally imported from disc then you would have to reimport the disc from 750101 upwards again then you can give give it a number to follow on from 37612.

The 3 files are .cdg is the graphics part of the song, the.mp3 is the audio track, both of these files must remain together to play as karaoke. The .kmh file is the header with all the original data like book id and disc id and any other info you added at the time of originally importing them which has to be in the same folder as the other 2 files if you want to keep all the original data.
But I think in your case you may be better deleting the .kmh file and re-import all your mp3+g from scratch through the Menu Import Songs/Index song files dialog seeing as you originally had problems with them not being named correct. This way will allow you to monitor the imported tracks.
Also if you decided to re-import those kma above with a new lower # would stop any conflicts if the number that was imbedded in the kmh file was a follow on from the ID 37612 above.

The Bin files are uncompressed karaoke files. the 1kb ones probably corrupted as they are normally large files there are also a couple of text files there.

You may find it helpful to watch one of my videos on importing hard drive files here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjf7fxEK5wk
Although this was from earlier version 5.07 I think.
