Steve, if you only use Microstudio for ripping, this problem does not occur. CDRWIN uses the .bin (binary) extension, MTU uses the .cdg (karaoke) extension because our focus is karaoke, not general CD technologies. I suggest you only use Microstudio. If you use CDRWIN to rip karaoke songs, then rename their .bin file to .cdg and it will work with Microstudio.
We don't discuss the use of non-MTU programs in our manual, which is why you did not find it. The LARGE majority of our clients only use our programs, which makes their life easy. We bury the technology for our clients and only require them to "learn" how to use - not the techy theory behind everything.
If I read your post correctly, you are trying to combine .cdg (or .bin) files and .wav files on the same CD disc. That is not allowed. The files must be of the same type. .cdg/.bin files include the .wav file audio with the RW codes added which store the karaoke lyrics/graphics data. A .wav file does not have this data. The two files have different CD disc formats that cannot be combined.
If you want to record a .wav file onto a karaoke disc, bring it into Karaoke Home Producer, put a period on the screen (you may not even need to do this, but I have not tested it), click the Place Lyrics button, play all the way through the song and tap the space bar at the end of the song to place the period (yes, it will turn color). Then click the Make My Song button. This will write the file out as a .cdg file. Then, add this in your CDG project in the Custom Assembly Tab of Microstudio and write them all to the CDG disc.
