Explanation of Karaoke File Extensions

Many different karaoke file extensions exist, including audio files, text files, video files, playlist files, data files and game files. Karaoke has adapted well to the Information Age.

Karaoke File Extensions

Just as .wma is a Windows Media audio file and .txt is a generic text file, .kfn represents a KaraFun karaoke song file, which is also an audio file, and .lrc indicates a karaoke lyrics file, which is also a text file. Audio files and text files are two of the most common and important karaoke file types.

Karaoke Song Files

KaraFun is a karaoke program for the Windows operating system which uses .kfn for karaoke song files, which are audio files intended to be sung along with. Karaoke song files are also MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) audio files when a user enters songs he recorded into a computer for storage and possible manipulation.

Karaoke Lyrics Files

The file extension useful for adding lyrics to karaoke MIDI files is .kar. The extension .lrc is useful for adding lyrics to other karaoke song files. These file extensions provide time lags for sing-along purposes.
