And the button is to correct that issue.

These may have DRM included then, meaning they may not import to be played in Hoster. I have run into that when importing audio files through Windows Media Player.

I have to disagree with your statement. You may think they are legal because they paid for them, however if the site does not have a license to sell them from the original producer then they are not legal. And those sites will note tell you that they have a license, because most are not legal. Some of the producers have downloads available from themselves or through another company that they have sold those rights to.

This goes with what I answered in the first quote.

After I'm done with that, I'm hoping to have 25,736 NEW files imported. If that is so, I will check the database to see how many is there, if it is less, I'll report that and then we've got a different issue.
If there's anything else I should be doing, now is the time to let me know while I have the PC in my possession.
Thanks again.
