I will try to message this directly, since this thread is old now:
I solved this, figuring out the file structure and encoding from the examples. I was totally wrong about the printer idea I suggested in another reply.
MARLEY.CHT, for example, looks something like this:
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ ║
║ ║
║ ║
║ ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ BBoobb MMaarrlleeyy && TThhee WWaaiilleerrss ║
║ BBoobb MMaarrlleeyy && TThhee WWaaiilleerrss ║
║ LLeeggeenndd ║
╠═════════════════════════════╦══════════════════════════════╣
║AA:: ║BB:: ║
║AA:: ║BB:: ║
║- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -║- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ║
║1.No woman no cry ║1.Three little birds ║
║ ║ ║
║2.One love/people get ready ║2.Buffalo soldier ║

║3.Is this love ║3.Waiting in a vain ║
etc.
You can see all the files and the code that made them here:

This was a strangely satisfying task. I hope I can help the OP recover their more important files too.
- twooclock 5y agoOMG! You made it! Can't wait to try on my family tree! Can't thank you enough!!! Btw: you know what marley.cht was for, right? I printed it out, fold it and put inside casette tape plastic box.
- twooclock 5y agoIf I remember right tape Title (BBoobb MMaarrlleeyy && TThhee WWaaiilleerrss ) was in larger font and bold and so was tape "side marker" (AA::). Let's say it was like Arial 24pt bold, and song titles were like 10pt normal. But overall layout is perfect. Who knows maybe someday I'll find a tape in those boxes...
- twooclock 5y agoOMG again! Only now I checked your github and layout is absolutely perfect (by memory)! I'll definitely try hard to find that tape now!
