Re: Do songs retain Do not show in Songbook when changing computers

Providing you originally entered that information via Hosters own edit dialog that info will be written into the kmh or kma header file.
So rebuilding the database will retain that info.

But if you used Access database to enter the info in the first place then rebuilding the database will probably lose any edits you made.

Later versions of Hoster have a Backup/Restore feature, if yours has that it is available from the Help menu.

If you create the backup and save to a portable device then after installing Hoster on your new computer use the Restore feature from that and it will set that up as a clone of your original without needing to rebuild database.
It doesn't copy the music files just all the settings, singers and songs databases & registry files.
