Thanks Alan,
It's just what the doctor ordered.
Now I have some work to do...):

Is there a way to view karoke files seperate from midi files in Windows Explorer?

I use Van Basco as the default player for karoake and midi files and viewing these files in Explorer, it does not show the file type. Just the Icon and ALL of them state midi file sequence when moused over, but when played with VanBasco some show .kar, some show .mid So I have to open, and play the file to see what it is. That's very time consuming.

I thought I found a way around this by inserting the CD-R, and from the start menu used search (D-Drive) and entered .kar or .mid. The search displays only .kar or .mid..great!... but from there I can't copy these files, so I'm still seeking a way to seperate .kar from .mid when they are all mixed together on one disk.

All this could have been avoided if Technics included .kar files as part of their format? I wonder why...Yamaha does.

Oh well, we can't have everything I suppose.
But this is turning into a major project, and I'm having second thoughts.

Regards,
Larry
