Using CDG files from HD without importing

[admin]

Your answer is Hoster cannot play .BIN files (or .CDG) if they are on the HD Drive and not converted to KMA files. You are the first in 6 years to request this, so I don't think we did wrong in not adding this capability.

I don't understand. If you have spent the time to create your .BIN files from KHPro and Vogone, why not import/convert them to KMA files stored in your Songs Database?

Another option would be to use Microstudio 3.0 to write your .BIN files to a CDG karaoke disc. Then, you can use Hoster's Add Track "CDG" button to play the songs from the disc. Otherwise, you must import them as KMA files.

I think I referenced just that earlier...These are CDG's I produced and didn't wish to import them and contaminate my songbook

Sounds to me he is wanting to play certain files without giving all the customers access to them by importing them. The quick easy way is to use mp3+g toolz and convert those songs to mp3+g and then click the mp3+g tab in hoster and select the song. It will not add it to hoster, allow you to play it from your hard drive and keep it there for later retrieval. I have a directory named mp3+g that I store those file in for easy location. Here is the link for mp3+g Toolz

This is what I do for my KHP songs.
