I'm also having the same problem(s) with the the singer search. I did not change anything in the database. I have three computers all with the same singer/song database. 8200 records 1400 singers. Most songs for one singer - 384

1. Oldest Computer is a Dell Inspiron 9300. Intel Pentium M 1.60 GHz ,2.0 GB of ram. 120 Gig internal HD, 320 Gig external drive. Windows XP Pro.

2. Home built. Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66 GHz, 8.0 GB of ram, 3 - 1 terabyte hard drives in a raid 5 array. Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit.

3. HP E-500f, AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor, 8.0 GB of ram, 1.5 terabyte HD, Windows 7 Pro.

Until a couple of weeks ago #2 has been used as the show computer for the past two years.. Has run quick and flawless. I upgraded to #3. At the same time I updated all three computers to the current Hoster 432.03. All three are experiencing the same problem now. I made the changes as required to run Hoster.

I ran a comparison test of loading Margie's 384 songbase. They all would load at different rates and more than once would pull up the songs for the singer above hers. Time wise the laptop was the quickest (55 seconds). Computer #2 took 87 seconds. Neither one seemed to bother the lyrics or audio. I haven't had time to test the time for the HP. I do know that not only does it take longer but it will show "Singers Database not responding" if you wait long enough it might or might not start working. Is there a limit to the number of songs one singer can have in the Songs Database? I didn't have this issue until the last upgrade.

We have been working around the issue by doing a song search.
p.s. Doing a song search on "the" neted several hunderd songs almost instantly on #2.

I can submit a ticket if you like, also I can email the singers database if you want to test it.

Thankyou,
