.bin file

[daddybrubeck]

I created my first karaoke file this week using KH Pro, I am very pleased with it as I now have on my hard drive a karaoke track that is not available.

I exported the .bin file from KH Pro, I then copied that .bin file to my hard drive zipped it using another bit of software and it plays great using the Karaoke Player I use for my gigs.

What I seem unable to do is to transfer that .bin file to a disc to enable me to play it on a karaoke player, I have tried to do so using a specific bit of software purpose made for this job as well as Microstudio, it looks for all the world that it is burning the track onto the disc but when I come to play it in Microstudio it will not play although it will play (the audio only) in Windows Media player, it looks like there is no CD+g element been laid down on the disc.

I have used to 2 different cd drives to burn the track onto a cd, these are both known to work for this purpose.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Eddie.

unzip it, if it is a bin file it should play in microstudio, and you can burn it to disc with MS.

Thanks for your prompt reply Bobcox, I am a little confused as to what I actally have to unzip?, the .bin file KH Pro created is not, to the best of my knowledge, zipped?, could your further explain please?

IT says you zipped it. and do your drives work for CD+G.

Do not zip the BIN file before you burn it to a CD in Microstudio. There is no external CDG file with BIN files as it is all contained in the one file. Only MP3+G or WAV+G or WMA+G have the secondary CDG file for the graphics.
The file on the disc, when you burn it to one will show as a CDA file, but is the whole thing (graphics and audio) all in one file as Track1.cda

Problem solved, thanks for your help.
