Hi!

Is there a way to read kfn-files with kJams?
Or is there another app for mac?

Thanks and mary christmas! Léo

KaraFun files may be in a proprietary format. Do you know if it is? Can you send me one?

Hi, I'am also interested to use kfn (karafun) files with kjams.
What do you mean with "proprietary format"?
Or is it possible to convert the kfn-files in an format which kjams is capable to support?
Best Wishes, Moothor

[dave]

a "proprietary format" in this context is a file format for which the specification is not published by the creator, creating a situation where users of such software must continue to use said software forever, since there is no legal, published way to convert from their "locked, closed" format to an "open" format, such as a QuickTime format or the CDG format. (Technically the CDG format is also proprietary, however it has been successfully reverse engineered and published), In this case it is necessary to reverse-engineer the format in order to be able to read it. I've never seen a KFN file, so i do not know how difficult it would be to reverse engineer.

As I said, please send me a couple of these files and I'll have a look-see.

And? Are there news about kfn-support in kJams?
Have you received a kfn-file Dave?

Bye! Léo

[dave]

i got some files and no i can't read them, sorry.

my advice: throw them away and use open standards like MP3+G, if we all stop using DRM's products, then they will stop MAKING DRM's products.

In the new version history there is written karafun is working with kJams now?
Is that right?

bye! leo

i only said i "started work" on it, not that it is done. basically I have got all the info i need to support the current version of the KFN file format. Note there are older versions of the format which will NOT be supported, without lots of whining, er, feature requests about it.

if even ONE more person chimes in here that they want KFN files, i'll "work on it" more.

i'm also interested in being able to use kfn files in kJams

[dave]

okay, yeah. well how many songs do you have in KFN format?

[thiencao87]

I have 3 T_T I really hope there's a way because I don't want to spend 67USD on their app when I have purchased KJams Pro already. I plan on buying more since they offer A LOT of high quality and especially Glee songs from their website.

If there's an alternative converter please tell me too ^^

[dave]

you have *three* karafun files? i don't really know if that's worth my time really.... ? this feature request is not very popular.

[thiencao87]

No its ok now sorry should've replied earlier. I just used fraps to record in the resolution that I had wanted and all is well once more Nice work around Xp

[dave]

ok. well keep in mind that the more requests i get for this the higher it goes on my list. but i have a long list.

I'm also interested in support for the kfn files.
I have 2700 songs I can't read in Kjams
