I haven't messed with the KMH files until yesterday. I downloaded some songs from Sunfly and to load them into Hoster, I have to import them from the hardrive after I have unzipped them. It seems I have no choice t as to if I want to load them as KMA or KMH or if I do I can't figure it out. Anyway they loaded fine but as KMH from MP3+G. Here is my question. From reading other post about this somewhere, I thought KMH files would be stored with the kMA files, but maybe I am not remembering correctly. I had a problem with a couple of files and tried to find them in the KMA files with no luck. I did a search for KMH files and found none. Apparently, the unzipped folder i.e. C:\Karaoke Downloads\Unzipped that I used for the location to unzip becomes the needed file for KMH but they don't show an extention as KMH and if I delete this unzippped files after importing them to Hoster, then I lose them in Hoster. What am I missing here and I still don't understand the reason for KMH other than I think they require less disk space. Any explanation would be appreciated.

For KMH a file is added to the folder where the original file is located. This file is only 256 bytes. The KMH file is named exactly as the original. The original files have to stay in that same foleder for them to work. The KMH file is only a header for Hoster to find and play the original file. You cannot remove the original or it will not work.
By the way you do not have to unzip them anymore either. Hoster will use the zipped files (with the KMH file) now.
None of this is transferred to your KMA folder. However when you import them the folder you are importing from is added to the songs database list.
