Re: Missing Songs after import

What effect does this text file have on re-importing? Should I have deleted that text file from each computer?
The Zip.kmh file is a header file and contains info for hoster indexing system. there are also other .txt files, if your starting over best to delete these as they contain the duplicated id's.

Thanks for the help as usual.
Dell Insipirion 7720. Windows Home Premium Inyel i7 3630, 8GB ram
64 bit OS
Hoster 5.08
To start from scratch I would do the following assuming your still using version 5.08
Look in your C:\MTU\Hoster folder and find the "HosterInfoIndexed.ini" file and delete it. Now start Hoster and go to the rebuild database dialog, your list of folders to index should show a blank list, rebuild the database now and it will build a blank empty data base. If you don't have any kma type files close Hoster and skip next bit. and go straight to
For KMH types.

If you have any kma type files that were original cdg discs I should re add that folder to the list of folders first but make sure there are only kma types in the folder and that none of the Song types to index buttons are highlighted if you get any duplicated notices after adding those merge songs before continuing.

For KMH types:
Now open the kmh folders in Windows explorer and delete the "ImportedFiles.txt" file important. You can also delete any other .txt files in thiese folders and all the .kmh files so you are only left with the original zip file or if they are mp3+g the mp3 and the cdg file.

This can be made easier by right clicking in the folder and select sort by Type, if type is not showing select More then tick the box for type then that option should appear.

Now use the index songs files button to open the Import Hard drive files dialog. Depending on the way your files are named it could be best to set the field separators to ignore the Disc Id and track # unless you specifically want that info imported, this will allow the full 99 tracks per book id and avoid any conflict if the files in these folder have an identical disk Id.
