Understanding the files on the DVD of Arirang Karaoke (hk2 & midi0)

[bigboss97]

Hi Henry,
I'm not sure whether I understand you correctly. You've got all MIDI's (with lyrics) and having trouble to associate some MP3 with MIDI's? I don't mind to discard MP3 (vocal, chorus).
Honestly, the screenshots didn't tell me much. Can you explain a little more? How far you've got and what exactly is still missing?
It would be great if you could post your source codes/scripts. So everybody can try them out.

Cheers
Phuoc

henry. please help

[bigboss97]

Based on your screenshots, all MIDIs are extracted with a sequence number.
I was able to read the TOC (song names) and refer it to the file contents, see:

This might help you to give your MIDI files a meaningful name.

I was able to find the lyrics, but failed to extract MIDI contents :-(

[bigboss97]

I haven't got a chance to run your MIDIs, but I trust you  :-)
It would be greate if you can create the MIDI already in Unicode, ie. no extra fonts (viewer) required for XP. You can find the conversion routine for VN and CN in:

[henry123]

TList.DATTLIST.DAT
please see it

[henry123]

any one continue with me?

[bigboss97]

I'm not aware of a TLIST file. As far as I can remember my findings work for v35 as well:
http://www.nabble.com/Arirang-Volume-35--tt23730471.html#a24892587

I could print the song list with original song numbers.
I could find the section of song data for each song.
I could unmask the lyrics.
Only missing the MIDI data.
I've done all these without TLIST

Suddenly, I've got the idea that the MIDI part properbly using another mask. Then I started looking at recurring pattern using masks 00-ff. I found a pattern of some 3 bytes and 7 bytes groups:


and I also found that if I use the lyrics mask XOR 0x0e then I've got the mask for that pattern.
These are only based on 3 songs. I might be wrong.

[henry123]

i'm having a vol36 disk
but no time to be with it.
I'll give all of you the result later.
Thanh Phuoc so much

[bigboss97]

The commercial one (all songs in one file)?
Has v36 the same data structure (which I strongly believe)?
