FAQ
KAR to MIF Conversion
What are KAR files?
KAR is a karaoke music file. Like an ordinary MIDI file it stores the melody and the accompaniment as notes, and in addition it holds the words of the song, split into syllables and timed to the music. A music program can show it as sheet music with the lyrics written under the notes, and a karaoke player highlights the words as they are to be sung. The format was created in 1993 for the Soft Karaoke product and is still widely used for karaoke songs.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
