Paul, what is a "Hoster file"? I have no idea as that is not what we call any feature in Hoster. :?

when i enter the song , and the go back and click OPEN file it opens , but thats the only playlist, and the box says look in hoster. I have to go to the drop down and find PLayLIST in order to get my 20+ playlist files

You are creating duplicate files by backing them up on the same computer. Not a good idea.

I'm thinking "Hoster" you were referring to is the C:\MTU\Hoster folder. I don't think we use the \Hoster\Playlists folder any more in 3.321. However, you can create whatever you want. Problem is, it sounds like you're a bit rusty on Windows Folders and where things are stored. It would be best to always use the MTU suggested defaults. Please read the manual to see what they are.

Also, I would highly recommend AGAINST storing files like Playlists on the Desktop. This should be reserved for EXECUTABLE files, like Hoster.exe.

PlayList Problem
 
Hey pselph2528
I had the same problem saved a new list and it takes you to C:\MTU\Hoster then confusion starts to set in O-no-It-Eat-My-Files-Again*%!@?
3.21 does this for what reason? Anyway copy your list file from above folder to where it should be @ C:\DocumentsSettings\YourComputer\Local Settings\Application Data\MTU\Hoster\Playlists and you will find all your playList files. The Save as menu defaults to C:\MTU\Hoster, You can manualy store new playList to C:\DocumentsSettings\YourComputer\Local Settings\Application Data\MTU\Hoster\Playlists. GoodLuck...Joe

Question?
1) Is there a way to print PlayList
2) Will it be possible to import more then 99 files per Disc.

You will be better off to copy/move all of your playlists from the Documents and Settings area to C:\MTU\Hoster. This is where Hoster will look for them and not on your desktop or in your profile. This was done to keep Vista from causing the lost files syndrome.

Excuse me for not knowing how to do this:s If you could tell me in a easy to under stand way, i would appreciate it. Can i simply go to explore, and drag "playlist" into hoster?
I have changed back to 3320 so that i could add to my playlist, but would like to re-install 3321.

or cut and paste. And then to open 1 of them you'll have to use file/open and navigate to the new location, if you start a new one you'll have to do this as well so Hoster doesn't try to save in the old location.

I read the manuel on playlists. It is only good for 3320 and prior versions.
