Extract text from Karaoke and album files (KMA)
To convert KMA Karaoke files to another format, you need KuGou Music or other Audio software.
To convert other file formats to the "Encrypted Audio or Metadata" file type, you need software like KuGou Music or a similar tool.
The .KMA file extension represents one of three highly specific, restrictive formats. It is primarily a Karaoke Media Audio file (26%) used by the Kumyoung karaoke system, often utilizing the LAME MP3 encoder. It also acts as a Kodak Memory Album file (21%), which is an internal XML format used by legacy Kodak Picture CD software to store album layouts. Another major variant (18%) is a KuGou encrypted audio file generated by the Chinese streaming service KuGou Music. A tiny fraction belongs to the obsolete Correlate Archive format.
To open these files natively, users are forced to use the original software. Karaoke tracks require Kumyoung hardware or compatible players. Album layouts require outdated Kodak software. KuGou music demands an active subscription and the official app to bypass its Digital Rights Management (DRM) locks.
Users frequently need to convert .KMA files because their current format is heavily restricted. KuGou tracks are intentionally encrypted to prevent playback on standard software like VLC, Apple Music, or Android devices. Kodak albums rely on dead software architectures. Kumyoung files contain specialized multiplexed audio and lyrics that standard media players cannot decode properly.
The best conversion targets are MP3 or WAV for audio playback, though extracting KuGou audio requires specialized DRM circumvention tools. For Kodak .KMA files, since they are structured in XML, you can extract the raw image paths and locate the original JPG photos.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is either obsolete or intentionally closed. Streaming platforms use it specifically to lock users into their ecosystem. However, just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, inspect the file, and view its internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KMA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our KMA converter.
