It should not be a user entered password, but automatically detected. I suppose for that kind of scheme to work there would need a way for the owner to "tie" these computer's to a common
encryption scheme, perhaps during registration of each Hoster install.

You have no idea how hard it is to modify the Registration Security. It has taken us 5 years to get where we are today.
No, we won't consider protecting a hard drive. There is no way that we are aware of to prevent Windows Explorer from copying the songs off the "protected drive".
dlessnau, we are working on a command you will be able to execute to encrypt all your songs to play only on that Hoster. No quaizywabbit, once they are encrypted, they will ONLY run on that Hoster RegCode. That's the only way we can truly offer protection. I expect this to be in Hoster 2.3, which will be a free upgrade to those who have upgraded to 2.124. We should start beta testing 2.201 this or next week.
However, in 2.124, we now allow you to install Hoster on a backup computer if your show computer fails. Thus, the same encrypted songs (when we offer this) will run on the backup also. However.... this is your backup means in the event your show computer fails, NOT to run a second show with.
