There is another tool in the rebuild database dialog "Define field Order" button where you select the field order but that only works on files that have never been imported before and you would also have to use "Song Types to index " feature with it.

You would probably be better of re-importing them via the Index Song Files dialog. but before reimporting them from there you would probably need to delete the importedFiles.txt in each folder first.

With the amount of files you have this is going to be a long job unless all your files follow the same naming order, which I doubt they would so you would have to be monitoring it all the time.

If you think they were all imported originally with the one long file name then I think this would be the best option If you want them named correctly otherwise you would need to edit every file separately.
Alternately import them all for now as previously but use the Add folders/subfolders button and then see if they are all one long file name or if it only applies to a few.

If decide to re-import the files and you have some kma files that were imported direct from disc might be better importing them as you did with the 2 small folders first as you can't change their field order and that will stop any duplicated problems when reimporting the others.

It would be best to delete the kmh files as well which is then like starting from scratch.

Regarding the id tags, most of the old ripped karaoke tracks never had their id tags indexed so still need to be manually indexed.
I don't know of any other programs that will fix this for you.
Also I don't believe video tracks contain ID tags.

Mp3 tracks on the other hand generally do have all their Id tags in tact and can be indexed automatically. You can try importing these through the index song files dialog and most should automatically get the correct field order without having to set it up previously.
You might want to view my video on this subject here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjf7fxEK5wk ithe mp3 import is at the beginning and it does sort the title and artist for mp3 types.
This is from an earlier version of Hoster but that part is the same and may help you.

Roy,
Well I am still in the process of reloading all my songs. I went in and deleted all the kmh files and the importedfiles.txt from each folder. My issue know is that my "C" drive is full and I have only 3/4 of my songs imported. How do I change the drive location for hoster since I have 579gb of storage in my "D" drive rather than the 179gb in my "C" driver. How do I move hoster to the "D" drive? Other than that, seems things are running great, thanks for all your help.
Brett

Both versions of 5.09 have a distinct "click" if the song is stopped early. I have not updated my main computer yet because of this. For some reason I cannot make a new post anymore?? Would someone with the power please report this so it can be fixed. It did not do this with 5.08 on either of my machines. Both are HP Laptops running Windows 7. :e

Hi Roy.
I set my fadeout to .5 It was a 2.0 and still getting the little squeek if I stop a song early. I did Roy's "fix" by clicking on the vol icon and changing the setting under playback-properties-enhancements-disable all enhancements but I still get the squeek or audible noise when ending a song early. I know, as the doctor said "well quite doing that" but sometimes I do end songs early. :w

I've been using 5.09 for about a month now. I started learning new things and one that I found that I like was to be able to add the song the singer just sang to that singers list from the Playlist by right mouse button click.

I tried the refreshing DB. The only way to add the songs to the singer database is to re-look the song up and add it at that time now.

I thought this was going to be an easy add to the singers database but now it has become much work again.

Now that function does not work anymore does anyone have any ideas?

I re-installed Hoster 5.09.02. I always make sure on updates. I am using Windows 8:f
