I also want to mention that my new laptop has a 750GB internal HD so I will not need to worry about space.
When you import MP3-G to the database that means it bring it to the database folder? if not is there any options there to move any imported files to the database folder?



Any ideas or recomendations?


Thanks!
First Hoster song files are KMA or KMH and not KAR. That is a different company's files and not usable in that format in Hoster.
Second Hoster doesn't move any of the files. If you want them all in the C:\MTU\KMA folder then you will have to move them all there manually and then rebuild the database with just that location as the only folder listed.
For your MP3+G, if you import them as KMA files with the destination folder as C:\MTU\KMA then Hoster will create a copy of the MP3+G with an added header and make it a KMA file in that folder. If you import them as KMH files then no it will not copy them. Instead it adds an additional small file with a KMH extension in the same folder.
