Re: Importing mp3+g files

2. Click the "Index HD Files" button.
3. In the dialog that appears, choose "KMH" or "KMA" based on your preferences. KMH quickly indexes each MP3+G file, while KMA imports the lyrics and audio, converting the audio to WMA compression format. Not quite correct Roy. It does not convert to WMA compression. All this does is add the Hoster header to the file as it copies it to the KMA folder. There is no conversion when dealing with a previously compressed file.
4. Click the "MP3+G" button and a dialog appears, allowing you to select a folder with your MP3+G files to index.
5. Click the "Select" button.
6. You will see the MP3+G songs in the "File List Window. Click one and it will appear in the field next to "fields and separators". Follow the directions on the left. If your Disc ID is in the filename it should automatically enter this else you can assign it one or let Hoster create it's own.
7. Click the "Single" button, then click the "Add Files" button.
8. Check that the names are displaying correctly in the "Track List Window" below. Edit them if now by clicking the Title or Artist fields. A list of names from Hoster's Import Database appears for you to find the correct one for each song, or type the new name in following the list entries visible while you type.
9. Click the checkbox "Select All" and click the "Index Files" to start indexing.
10. Once all the files with the same DiscID are indexed, they will disappear in the "File List Window" so you can select another filename as your "template". If the fields within the filename match the "Define Field Order" fields, all you need to do is click the "Add Files" button, and follow the instructions on the left.

Just a small correction Roy. Doesn't effect your method but is incorrect information.
