I like this idea because then I can keep all files in the same folder. At this point I don't have any interest in videos so I don't have any reason to keep the files in seperate folders, unless I am missing something. This brings me to another question. When using Microstudio and importing KMA files to write a disk, does Microstudion change the files back to cdg? The reason I am asking is because when I make disks this way they play in karaoke players and I thought KMA wouldn't play in anything but MTU products.

Yes it Converts them to cdg format exactly the same as a conventional karaoke disc but leaves your original files as they were.
If you wanted to do it this way you could make a cd+g disk from your mp3+g files then import those as kma's, the only thing then is you would have to type all the title's and artist names in manually which you don't have to when you import hard drive files.

Just move the downloaded song after you unzip it to your regular music folder and then import from there. No separate folders.
If you convert to bin, you will be compressing further an already compressed file (depending on the orginal rip could be very audibly noticeable) when you reimport as a kma. Converting to bin does nothing to decompress a file. Nor does burning to disc and reimporting that way, same thing would happen - compressing an already (originally) compressed file which again could be very audibly noticeable.
