Sorry, I haven't check out this forum for awhile now.  Yes the Megabox is another popular Midi Karaoke player, it just happen that when I buy the JBK, then sent me the Megabox instead, they eventually replaced it with the JBK.
I am not done with the JBK yet, I got side track to the Megabox because it got Vietnamese vocal when the JBK doesn't.  I wanted to extract the songs in the Megabox to play in the JBK.  But look like the Megabox is a bit more sophisticated, it could play MP3 (vocal only) and MIDI (music) at the same time, while the JBK play either MIDI (music) or WMA (vocal on 1 channel and music on the other channel), but not both at the same time.
The JBK used some weird code for the Vietnamese lyric, I ended up decoding the code manually from the lyric; it's actually not that bad, Vietnamese doesn't have thousand of symbols like Chinese.
The Megabox on the other hand is just plain VNI font.
Look like the California font is exactly the same as the JBK, you could look at the code I posted, there's a lookup table to convert it to VNI font.
If you could decode the lyric to some of the standard fonts like VNI, VPS, or unicode, then there are tools out there that could convert between them.
