KAR, Karaoke files (.kar)

The KAR Audio file format

KAR files are audio files created by many Karaoke applications. Next to the MIDI data, those files also contain song lyrics stored in plain text format. Thanks to the usage of the MIDI data, no actual audio data is contained within the KAR file. It is mainly used for playing back the lyrics along with the songs.

Technical details of KAR files

Even though the format has been abandoned by said corporation, it is still the prevailing file format in the shareware/public domain market.
