George, got another HexEdit File Comparison Program, Link Below:

http://www.prestosoft.com/examdiff/examdiffpro.htm

Called "ExamDiff Pro" v3.0 Beta

Used the Goldenhawk "Bin" and MicroStudio "CD+G" from the same SoundChoice Song.

As with the AJC Diff Program that reported a "Diff at 73346" between the two hex files. Apparently at 73346 is only the Start of the Differences between the two files. The ExamDiff Pro also reports this number of "Diff at 73346" and refers this to an "Offset".

The ExamDiff Pro program REPORTS 118 "Differences" between the Bin and CD+G files, claimed to be the same by MTU.

Of the 118 Differences the program says (2) ADDED, (2) DELETED and (114) CHANGED.

Within the Program you have a side by side comparison of the 118 Differences in Hexidecimal Code. You can go to each of the 118 Differences and see them and print them out. To print them out would require 118 Pages. (one page per difference)

AS "danny_g" said and I have found you just can change the extension from a bin to cdg or cdg to bin and expect it to work as the ExamDiff Pro Program shows in the Song I extracted, there are 118 Differences between the Goldenhawk "Bin" file and the MTU "CDG" file.

I CAN'T SEE WHY MTU IS SAYING THAT BOTH ARE THE SAME WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENCES?

I AM CONVINCED THEY ARE "NOT THE SAME".

P.S. Anyone can download the ExamDiff Pro Program and run the comparisons to see for themselves the differences. Would like anyone with HEX EDIT experiance to EXPLAIN the DIFFERENCES.
