If you also wish to check the song files in all sub-folders of the folder you have chosen, place a check mark on the SubFolder indicator. All files of CDG, MP3, MP3+G, MCG, NCG, and ZIP will be checked for the integrity against bad sectors, file corruptions, and other fatal data errors.

2.1 Checking the Playlist from PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT
The Song Checker program can pre-check the Playlists that are made for the PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT player/program. The purpose of the pre-check is to avoid any inconvenient closing/crashing of the PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT program due to corrupted or bad Playlist. This pre-check would be best performed by installing the Song Checker program in the same laptop or PC running the PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT.
Press the Playlist button and
go to the location of your Playlists. By default, the PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64
LT program stores the Playlists created within the program at
Libraries\Documents\PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT\Playlist\. Select a Playlist and
the Song Checker program will automatically start and complete the checking.
The Song Checker program will check the Playlist as if the PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT program does when starting the karaoke program.
Click on the Error View to see the status of each song in the Playlist. Any song with error in the Playlist will be marked and indicated on the Error View.
Note that any graphic file without a matching audio file, or any audio file without a matching graphic file, will be flagged and marked in the Result column.
The Playlist found with errors can be edited or re-created from the song files using the PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT program.
