The exclusif cdg format (extension) that MTU uses is excellent but it limits you to be in your own world when the reality is, any other brand uses the bin extension so why not be able to burn those file with Micro instead of having to get a software from ****

Mike, read this thread where I address from an engineering AND user viewpoint why MTU does not support the .bin format for playing or importing individual files. As a matter of fact, we DO USE the .bin extension when we duplicate an entire disc image.

The thread above proves the .bin extension is NOT... I repeat... NOT a stable filename extension. If it ONLY was used for one type of format, we would support it in a heartbeat. However... it is not.

Why do other companies support it (in addition to GoldenHawk who first used it)? Because they don't provide free support. IMHO, it is impossible to support the .bin extension, which can have multiple NON-CDG format files all using the .bin extension.

Furthermore, you can rename your .bin files, created with non-MTU programs, to .cdg.... IF... you know they are CDG karaoke disc track files. Microstudio will use them correctly. It is your choice.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF MTU CUSTOMERS... only use our software. They don't use other software that create .bin files in various formats that confuses them. In fact, MANY of our customers first used CDRWIN and abandoned it because it was too complex to use and understand. Microstudio is easy, fast, clear,and above all... safe to use without confusion.

Now, please drop your complaint on this issue. It is your choice to rename your .bin files or not... or better still, only use Microstudio for your CDG file processing. Many of our other customers would be in deep trouble if they could get any .bin file, with no knowledge of what format it is in, and try to write or play it as a .cdg file.
