CAVS

CAVS is a manufacturer of standalone karaoke disc players, jukeboxes, and streaming audio servers.

CAVS stores songs in a series of folders, one for every disc 'ripped' into the system: [code] SC08[=\=] <- Folder with "Disc/Album" Name

SC09[=\=]

SC10[=\=]

 00001.MCG <- graphics file for song #1
 00001.MP3 <-    audio file for song #1

 00001.MCG <- graphics file for song #2
 00002.MP3
 ...
 list.txt <- Text file containing song and artist info for each track

Each disc folder contains a "list.txt" file which provides meta data for all songs. It is formatted like so:

00001|My Best Friend's Girl|Cars, The 00002|These Boots Are Made For Walking|Nancy Sinatra 00003|She's A Lady|Tom Jones [/code]

Converting

A suite of PC utilities included with most CAVS hardware enables 'ripping' CD audio to MP3 format, saving graphics data in CAVS' proprietary .MCG and .NCG formats, and converting to other formats, such as kJams' native .CDG . For more information, see
