Roy,

Except for the time I use the karaoke working drive with the Acer netbook, the working drive and the auto back-up drive are connected. The working drive is "F" and the back-up is "D".

Based on your suggestion to keep a back-up of C:/MTU/Hoster files, I checked and my back-up drive has copied those files and continues to copy them as they are updated.

I believe what happened is I edited some tracks and then used the build database function and there were three folders, one for C one for F and one for D. I guess when I did the re-build I mashed them all together, because I noticed that during the process, the indicator box indicated much more files than I had in F. However, when the re-build was finished it indicated I had about the same number of files as I had in F.

So how do I perform your suggestion: "Where you saved those files to a temporary file why can't you just copy & Paste them over the original files then either rebuild the database or highlight the folder containing them and select Rescan."? Won't that just add more files to my working drive rather than change them?

Thanks for your input, now I have a basic idea about how the database works. I also believe now that after editing there is no need to do a re-build, just redo the songbook. At least that's my impression.

Thanks again,
