I was planning on making a copy of the music to fix here then copy it back to the HDD of the PC and the Backup Laptop, that way all the files are the same.

I don't know if they are willing to pay me to fix the files, but there are a lot that need fixing just for the Artist/Title switch.

I'm still importing and will report back.

A couple of other things that I noticed, Hoster will kick out files that have a tilde over a letter, like Buble vs Bublẽ. The later will get kicked out.

Also, if you have an extra space before the dash as in SC8000-01 - Artist - Title, after the 01 are two spaces, this gets kicked out

Also, if you are copying files and accidentally copy a zip folder into another zip file, this file will get kicked out (found several of those).
Sounds like you are heading in the right direction. My guess is this has gone on for a while and files they thought were imported were just not there. It is going to take a while to do all of that but should be well worth it to them.
