MP3G and ZIP files can add to the Database in 3.100
 

I am trying to show some features to fellow KJ's and gotten stumped on a question.

If I have a folder with 10 MP3+G songs in Zipped format, what is the easiest way to add them to the songs database? Updating/Rebuilding the database only seems to grab existing KMA files, not mp3+g's or zips.

In reading through the manual a bit more it appears that .zip and .mp3+g formats can not be added to the songs database. Is this correct?

If so, is there an MTU utility in the works to convert these to KMA, without having to reburn every CDG again into Hoster?

It looks like Hoster 3.10 will let you do that. :)

I have attached the Import screen with the Hard Disc Drive button selected. You can see the four Convert buttons for: CDG - BIN - MP3G - ZIP as the different file formats you can import from the hard drive. We convert the CDG and BIN into standard WMA compressed KMA format files. THe MP3G and ZIP files convert into a new KMA format that retains their MP3 audio compression. All four types are automatically added to the Songs Database once they are converted. We MUST have our standard KMA data for the Songs Datbase, Add Tracks, Search, Edit Songs, Song Book, etc. features to work.

It is taking us a LONG time to get this done right. We are meeting right now on the latest "bug". We expect to have Beta 4 out today or tomorrow. Release for 3.100.... by March end is all I can venture right now. :s
