KMA Files

[Lonman]

Just someone over on K-Scene who's positive he's correct saying that you can in fact convert a kma file into a working zip file that will work on any other hosting program.

I'd like to hear it from them myself! Little clarification...first off is it even remotely possible? I was always under the impression that the kma files were somewhat protected from anything like what this guy is claiming.

Here's a thread where ADMIN riefly explains the difference. .

Sam and GDUNS are right.

MP3's retain their character when imported into KMA format.

Hoster uses WMA compression when importing CDG's from discs or hard drive, not MP3.

Scroll down to post #4.

At least that's how I read what ADMIN said.

There are 2 types of .kma files. The First is the ORIGINAL .kma file created by Hoster when you Import into Hoster directly from a CDG disk using Import CD Tracks. This file is a TRUE .kma file. The Audio is compressed using the .wma format, from Microsoft at whatever Compression rate you have set in Hoster. The graphics are then ripped and combined into this .kma file, so it is only ONE file, not 2.

The second is when you import a .zip or MP3+G file from the Hard drive. This file is then has the .kma file header wrapped around it. This indeed is the EXACT same as your Original .zip or MP3+G file, it just has the .kma file header wrapped around it. So this file is what you are explaining in your first post, but our TRUE .kma file is not.

Hope this helps to clarify the .kma file to you. Admin may also add to this.
