I’m in the process of importing tracks onto my USB external hard drive using Hoster 4.32 and it’s a slow process. I’m also learning something new every day thanks in large part to the postings on the Hoster Help forum and the by doing the imports. However, I have some questions that I hope the experts can answer:
1) How can I add tracks to the database without doing a rebuild every time I add them? It’s beginning to take a long time to rebuild.
2) What is the second number indicated during the rebuild process that indicates, “Currently processing Song DB track xxxx of xxxxx”? In my case the final number of tracks processed is 2,461 of 4,934. I don’t know where the 4,934 comes from.
3) How can I change the DiscID of a CD ID I entered in error? Reading through the posts it seems it can’t be edited.
4) How can I keep the duplicate tracks that have a different brand, without having them appear in my songbook? I don’t want to delete these songs that took so long to import.
5) How can I indicate the key change for a track in the song database and of course in the song book? I use my Hoster for my own use, so I need a way to know what key I’m using. At this time I enter a few spaces it after the song title, and then I type in the key change.
I have found that many CDs are in the on-line (in the sky) database, and that sure makes importing much easier and quicker. All told I “guesstimate” that about 4/5s of the CDs I have are in the databases. While the auto add title and artist makes the other 1/5 easier to import, it still is quite time consuming.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Wes
