I bought a CAVS karaoke USB player before Christmas and really love it. My brother liked it so much that he ordered one and received it last week. Since then we have been trying to copy my karaoke files (MCG) from my external USB to his. I have an English MCG file and a French MCG file. My CAVS machine reads and plays these files perfectly. When we try to play the files from my brother’s copy it reads the French file properly but won’t play the English files? We press the number of the song and it shows the name of the song but when we press play, the song name and number dissappear.My brother bought the exact same USB external drive that I have. I checked the displays on both USB’S to make sure they were identical. If both USB external drives have the exact same files, why is the English file not playing on the CAVS machine? Would be so happy if you can solve this mystery for us, we don’t know what to do next???

When the contents of an external USB drive is copied onto another external hard drive, there is one thing to be careful about.

If the song files in the original external USB hard drive are in a folder along with English.inx and juke.txt files, they can be copied to another drive with no problem.

However, when the song files in the original USB hard drive are inside a subfolder _Songs and the files English.inx, juke.txt and Address.inx are together with the _Songs subfolder, then after copying the contents to a new hard drive, you must run INXmaker program on the file juke.txt to recreate the Address.inx file in the new drive.

 

Address.inx is a file that keeps record of physical locations of all songs.  So copying the contents of a hard drive to another make this Address.inx file useless.  That is why we must run INXmaker program again on the juke.txt file in the new hard drive to recreate the Address.inx for the new hard drive.
