importing songs
 

I am wondering if anyone has had this similar problem. When I try to import songs that are zips I am unable to do no matter what try. The songs are in the following format: SC8715-01 - Def Leppard - rocket.zip

Some of are as follows: SC9001-01_._Vaughan_Stevie_Ray_._Couldn't_stand_the_weather

SC9001-15_._guy,_buddy_._dam_right_I've_got_the_blues

Tried to upload attachments but was unable to Thanks Alan

Alan,

What Hoster Version Are You Using?
Do You Index as KMA or KMH?

Are you sure you have shown the file names correct, I ask because having a "_._" full stops unusual it is normally "_-_" a dash as shown here.

If they are indeed full stops then you wont find a predefined field order to select, you will have to type them in manually to make them match.

So for SC9001-15_._guy,_buddy_._dam_right_I've_got_the_blues
The field order would have to be set as DiscID-Track_._Artist_._Title

Note there is no space before or after the - between the DiscId & the Track

I made a video showing your file names being imported it may help to look at this first.

here is the link: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/coft0bfnwJ

Take note where I say space in the video for the after discid I should have said Dash or minus figure with no spaces between it.

see how you get on after viewing it.

A better option for you might be to use Bulk Rename Utility which is a free to use program to rename all the files to be a consistent.
You can download it from here: http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php

It might look a bit daunting on first opening but is very easy to use.

I created another demo video using it with your file names to show you how it works.

The only thing wrong with it is it does not rename the files inside the zip but that does not effect Hoster, but it can be a problem with some software.
