KMA is not the only proprietary format. Tricerasoft uses KMF as ONE of their formats.

KMA is WMA+G and is, supposedly, a superior format, 1-1 compression wise, over MP3+G.

MTU has SONGVERTOR which can convert any KMA back to the MP3+G format. This allows anyone to switch to any other vendor.

MTU uses a unique "NUMBERED" BookID assigned to each KMA that makes finding a SONG easier than entering an ALPHA/CHARACTER/NUMERIC conglomeration. (i.e. cbep570-1-10...who the hexx wants to type that longaxx DiscID?)

I use LATSHAW's KJ File Manager and inquired, over 2 years ago, for them to support the KMA Format. At that time, they didn't want to try to "READ" the KMA Header as the information is contained within the FILE verses OUTSIDE the file as with MP3+G.

You are correct...MTU has absolutely no consistency from one release to another. Where one problem gets fixed, another problem, that was fixed X number of releases earlier, is back. But, hey, they claim to have the best programmer.
