I don't want to give up those songs so I would have to play disks now and then along with my computer. That's not right. I had hoped Hoster would be more like Music Match Jukebox where you would scroll down the song list til you got to your song. I will get used to this if I can just get all my songs.Myrtle
I just purchased the Chartbuster Esential 450 V pack. As far as I know this is the latest version of the essential 450 series out. You must enter all song titles and artists as these songs are not in the latest version of hoster. This is how I got around the problem with track 15 not importing and it is what is recomeded by other folks on this forum I believe.

1. I imported 14 songs off of each disk and they went on just fine aside from all the typing.
2. I then used Microstudio to import the disks again but when I did it, I typed in all the information for all tracks including track 15.
3. Before I imported them, I went to the play tab and played track 15 and timed it to see how long it was.
4. I wrote this number down and went back to the import tab.
5. I clicked on import selected songs and watched as it imported the first 14 tracks.
6. When it started track 15, I turned on my stopwatch(acutally used the stop watch function from my cell phone) and waited until the amount of time that I had written down elapsed.
7. Then I hit the eject button on the Plextor burner. A message comes up saying that it falied to read track such and such and so on.
8. I hit the cancel button and the import terminated itself. If you go back and look in the directory you were importing to, you will find the track is there.
9. You must then go back and burn a custom disk of all the tracks that belong to that particular disk. After you have done this, you can then import track 15 from that disk into hoster.
In retrospect, I probably would have imported into Microstudio first, burned the custom disk and then imported into hoster. This may be a little complicated but it does work! Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong!

Hope this helps
