Playing Audio+G & Cdg files after conversion...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

Another alternative would be to go ahead and make your back up's now. That's what I did, and freed up even more hard drive space.

Take care,

for the purpose that you are stating, you should have bought hoster. It uses KMA files which are about the size of an mp3 files.

What would that gain?

His stated purpose was to save cdg's to disc to be burned back to disc in the event his originals get damaged.

Microstudio doesn't recognize KMA files, and Hoster doesn't burn discs.

Even if there were a program out there that would convert KMA files, he'd be no different off than he is with MP3's would he?

By the sounds of it, he would need Hoster and Microstudio both. As it sounds his wife and kids use the disks on a player. (least that's the way it reads)

You could play the mp3+g's in hoster, as well as still be able to make the CD's when they get scratched. Importing to KMA wouldn't allow for this as you wouldn't then be able to reverse the process.

I guess what i meant is that he could import all his songs into hoster and would be able to play them all back without taking a huge amount of disc space. CDG files are almost 10 times as large. It certainly wouldn't help with the burning them back to disc. He'll just have to use microstudio to make backups for archive perpose.

Thanx all! I'm kinda of a all-in-one kinda guy, that's all. The way I'm doing it now is fine, was just under the assumption that it would play the files after being burnt to the hard-drive. The free program takes care of playing the songs instead!
