Remove Silence - Click the Tools menu, Remove Silence command. In the dialog, click the "Remove Silence Mode" button so it is green. This will enable playing without silence. My guess is you will see "Normal Play" is clicked (green), which plays the full songs.
As Roy said, once a file has had Remove Silence run on it, the Start/Stop parameters are stored in the KMA/KMH header, which are used to build the Songs Database. You can edit these in the Edit Songs - Multiple view. Read the manual please.
Build Database - Roy is not stating an important point (this is all new to Roy and Dale so they are learning
).
* Click the
Import Songs command on the Menu bar.
* Click the
Build Database button.
* In the dialog that appears,
MAKE SURE all your KMA/KMH folders are listed in the "Indexed Folders" list (it's button at the top just off center should be green). This is the list window on the bottom left, below the "Add Folder", "Add Folder/Subfolder", "Rescan Folder" and "Exclude Folder" buttons.
If any drives/folders/subfolders with KMA/KMH files are not listed in this window,
they are NOT indexed in the Songs.mdb.
I expect this is why your Songs.mdb only takes 10 seconds to build when Hoster 5.03 runs and the Songs.mdb is not found.
If you find that folders that
ARE identified in your "Build Songs Database" in 5.0
2 are NOT listed in your 5.03 "Indexed Folders" list, please post that back here. I'd consider that an oversite that we must fix.
I hope this solves your problem(s).
