Extract text from Karaoke song lists (KSL)
To convert KSL Song lists to another format, you need Brady Workstation or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data List" file type, you need software like Brady Workstation or a similar tool.
A .KSL file functions primarily as either a Karaoke Song List or a proprietary label design file. Karaoke hosts use it to maintain and organize catalogs of available backing tracks. In industrial and office environments, it stores custom label layouts for wire marking, barcode printing, and safety signs.
The karaoke variants are generated by software like Karaoke Song List Creator. The label design files are created by K-Sun LabelShop software, a legacy system now associated with Brady Corporation.
These formats present significant disadvantages because they are closed and proprietary. They lock your data inside specific, niche software ecosystems. The karaoke list files cannot be natively imported into modern spreadsheet tools without data parsing errors. The Brady label files require expensive, specialized industrial printing software to open. You cannot view them on a standard web browser, making it difficult to share mockups with clients or colleagues who lack the software.
To regain control of your data, you should convert Karaoke lists to CSV or TXT to manage the catalog in standard spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel. For the label designs, converting to PDF is highly recommended to preserve the visual layout for printing and universal sharing, though you will lose the ability to edit dynamic label fields.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it lacks open-source documentation. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Despite this, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KSL 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 KSL converter.
