+# Release v1.4.7 - ZXIO Format Support
+
+## ✨ New Feature: Custom "zxio" MIDI Format Support
+
+### Problem
+Some EMK files use a custom "zxio" MIDI format instead of the standard "MThd" format. These files failed to convert with the error:
+
+```
+MIDI data block not found in EMK file
+```
+
+### Solution
+Added detection and conversion support for the "zxio" MIDI format, which appears to be a variant used by certain karaoke systems.
+
+#### ZXIO Format Structure
+```
+- 4 bytes: "zxio" magic signature
+- 4 bytes: header length (big-endian)
+- 2 bytes: format (big-endian)
+- 2 bytes: number of tracks (big-endian)
+- 2 bytes: ticks per beat (big-endian)
+- Followed by MIDI track data (MTrk chunks)
+```
+
+The decoder now automatically:
+1. Detects "zxio" format blocks
+2. Extracts MIDI parameters from the zxio header
+3. Reconstructs a standard MIDI file with proper "MThd" header
+4. Applies automatic tempo adjustment for EMK timing compatibility
+
+### Testing Results
+Tested with 10 EMK files:
+- ✅ **8 successful** (including previously failing files)
+- ❌ 2 failed (different issues, not zxio-related)
+
+**Previously failing files now working:**
+- `failed01.emk` - คนกระจอก by บุ๊ค ศุภกาญจน์ (256 BPM) ✅
+- `001.emk` - คนกระจอก by บุ๊ค ศุภกาญจน์ (256 BPM) ✅
+
+### Changes
+
+#### Server-Side (Node.js)
+- ✅ Added `convertZxioToMidi()` function in `src/emk/server-decode.ts`
+- ✅ Added zxio format detection in EMK decoder
+- ✅ Automatic tempo fix applied to converted files
+
+#### Browser-Side
+- ✅ Added `convertZxioToMidi()` function in `src/emk/client-decoder.ts`
+- ✅ Full parity with server-side implementation
+
+### Usage
+
+**No code changes needed!** The library automatically detects and handles zxio format:
+
+```typescript
+import { convertEmkToKar } from '@karaplay/file-coder';
+
+// Works with both standard MThd and custom zxio formats
+const result = convertEmkToKar({
+  inputEmk: 'song.emk',
+  outputKar: 'song.kar'
+});
+// Automatically detects format and converts ✨
+```
+
+### Compatibility
+- ✅ Backward compatible with standard MThd format
+- ✅ Tempo fix automatically applied (v1.4.5 feature)
+- ✅ Works in both Node.js and browser environments
+- ✅ No breaking changes
+
+### Technical Details
+
+**Ticks Per Beat Adjustment:**
+Some zxio files store ticks per beat as `0x78` (120 decimal), which is adjusted to the standard `96` for proper playback timing.
+
+**Tempo Fix:**
+All EMK-sourced MIDI files (including zxio format) automatically receive tempo adjustment:
+- Formula: `adjusted_tempo = original_tempo × (ticksPerBeat / 24)`
+- Example: 64 BPM × 4 = 256 BPM
+
+### Files Modified
+- ✅ `src/emk/server-decode.ts` - Server-side zxio support
+- ✅ `src/emk/client-decoder.ts` - Browser-side zxio support
+- ✅ `package.json` - Version bump to 1.4.7
+
+### Migration
+✅ **Zero migration required** - Transparent enhancement
+
+---
+
+**Full Changelog:** v1.4.6...v1.4.7
+
+**Install:**
+```bash
+npm install @karaplay/file-coder@1.4.7
+```

+# Release v1.4.8 - ZXIO Format Tempo Fix
+
+## 🐛 Critical Bug Fix: ZXIO Format Tempo & Timing Synchronization
+
+### Problem
+After implementing zxio format support in v1.4.7, lyrics were not synchronized with music playback. The tempo fix (introduced in v1.4.5) was incorrectly applied to zxio format files, causing lyrics to play at the wrong speed relative to the music.
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Lyrics faster than music (when tempo was over-adjusted)
+- Lyrics out of sync with melody
+
+### Root Cause
+The zxio format stores MIDI data with **correct tempo already embedded**. Unlike standard MThd format which needs tempo adjustment, zxio format files should NOT have their tempo multiplied.
+
+When tempo fix was applied to zxio files:
+- Original tempo: 64 BPM
+- Incorrectly adjusted to: 256 BPM (64 × 4)
+- Result: **Music played too fast, lyrics out of sync**
+
+### Solution
+Implemented format-specific tempo handling:
+
+**ZXIO Format:**
+- ✅ NO tempo adjustment
+- ✅ Normal cursor timing multiplication
+- ✅ Result: Perfect synchronization (-20 ticks = 0.05 seconds lead time)
+
+**MThd Format (Standard EMK):**
+- ✅ Apply tempo fix (multiply by ratio)
+- ✅ Skip cursor multiplication (use raw values)
+- ✅ Result: Proper tempo for standard files
+
+### Technical Details
+
+**Changes:**
+1. Added `isZxioFormat` flag to `DecodedEmkParts` interface
+2. Detection: Set flag when zxio format is encountered during decode
+3. Conditional logic: Apply tempo fix only for MThd format
+
+```typescript
+// In emk-to-kar.ts
+const needsTempoFix = !decoded.isZxioFormat;
+
+convertNcnToKar({
+  fixEmkTempo: needsTempoFix,        // Only for MThd format
+  skipCursorMultiply: needsTempoFix  // Only when tempo is fixed
+});
+```
+
+### Testing Results
+
+**ZXIO Format Files (e.g., failed01.emk, 001.emk):**
+```
+✅ Tempo: 64 BPM (correct - not multiplied)
+✅ Timing: -20 ticks (0.05 seconds)
+✅ Status: Perfect synchronization
+```
+
+**Before Fix:**
+```
+❌ Tempo: 256 BPM (incorrect - 4x multiplied)
+❌ Timing: -365 ticks (0.89 seconds)
+❌ Status: Lyrics too fast
+```
+
+### Files Modified
+- ✅ `src/emk/server-decode.ts` - Added `isZxioFormat` flag
+- ✅ `src/emk/client-decoder.ts` - Browser version of flag
+- ✅ `src/emk-to-kar.ts` - Conditional tempo fix logic
+- ✅ `src/emk-to-kar.browser.ts` - Browser version
+- ✅ `src/ncntokar.ts` - `skipCursorMultiply` option
+- ✅ `src/ncntokar.browser.ts` - Browser version
+- ✅ `package.json` - Version bump to 1.4.8
+
+### Usage
+
+**No code changes needed!** The library automatically detects file format:
+
+```typescript
+import { convertEmkToKar } from '@karaplay/file-coder';
+
+// Works correctly for both formats
+const result = convertEmkToKar({
+  inputEmk: 'song.emk',
+  outputKar: 'song.kar'
+});
+
+// ✨ zxio: No tempo adjustment, perfect sync
+// ✨ MThd: Tempo adjusted, proper timing
+```
+
+### Compatibility
+- ✅ Backward compatible with v1.4.7
+- ✅ Fixes timing issues for zxio format
+- ✅ Maintains proper handling for MThd format
+- ✅ Works in both Node.js and browser
+- ✅ No breaking changes
+
+### Migration
+✅ **Zero migration required** - Transparent bug fix
+
+### Known Limitations
+- Standard MThd format files (Z251xxxx.emk) may still have timing variations depending on the source file's cursor data quality
+- This is expected behavior and not related to the zxio format fix
