((edited))whups... just read you tried multiple programs...

You know, .kar files are specific... I don't know which ones work with .midi files... many players play that, but I don't know which ones work with karaoke .cdg screens...  

I do know that powerkaraoke will convert the .kar files to a .cdg format...
It ain't free, but it is affordable, and the guy that wrote that program DOES come to this site!

Sorry Nancy, wish I could be of more help.

Where did you get these files from?

If they are only in Chinese, do you expect a program to translate them in to another language?

try to call the Manufacturer of the disc and see if they recommend a particulary brand of machine that will supposedly play that type of karoeke file. Go to the source.

Nancy,  Just a thought. Are you using a Chinese version of the OS?  If you are using an English version, you may need to add Chinese character support to Windows. See if this helps:

OK, I got the files. I have added this to the things-to-do list. Please email us in two weeks -- it looks like it should be pretty simple thing to do.

Siglos Karaoke Player/Recorder 1.0.6 should play your files properly. You may need to change font and/or codepage in Display Settings to one that supports Chinese characters.

van basco should play any .kar files.
Also there is a midi editor called power tracks that comes with *shudder* band in a box. I dumped band in a box and kept power tracks cos it was a decent prog and will play .kar files and edit them etc

The problem is with Chinese characters (and other multibyte scripts) -- they have to be treated is a special way and Van Basco does not display them properly.
