FAQ
KAR to SHP 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 SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
