Now I am trying right now to add songs to the singers database. I created a new name form the Playlist to add to the singers database by right mouse button on the song. A submenu shows to add to that singers database.
I click that option to add. I check the singers database and it does not show in the singers database. I try refresh DB for that singer and still nothing.
Now I know this has worked as I have used this a week before. Now all of a sudden it stops adding
So, I restarted Hoster, tried adding to the singers database and I will be able to add a song to a singers database. But only one song will work. NO more songs will get added to any singers database from the Playlist.

Have you opened the singers.mdb in Access at some time which may have corrupted it.?

Seeing as you are new to this you probably don't have a very long list of names, try starting from scratch, to do this:

start Hoster, from the Tools Menu select "Hoster Data Folder", when the folder opens close Hoster but keep the folder open.
Now look for "singers.mdb" right click on it and choose rename and name it something like "singersold.mdb" close the folder and restart Hoster this will create a new empty singers.mdb. The renaming is just for back up purposes you can always name it back later if you want.
Now see if you can add more singers.
When you right click on the song in the playlist the fly out window would be greyed out if there is not a singers name in the name column or would say "Add to xxxx Songs, xxxx being the singers name.
Or you should be able to double left click on the singers name and either select one from the list or just type a new name press enter to clear the edit box then right click the song and it should then allow adding that new name straight to the singers database even if that singer was not in the database previously.
