FYI

The pre-installed Song List (Bucket.MDB) is only a TOOL that one MAY USE (NOT, MUST USE) to make Importing easier. That is to say, it only makes it easier, when one is importing a Disc, and, one chooses to use the Bucket.MDB as a means to "Prefill" the Artist and Songtitle information in order to SAVE one from having to TYPE IT ALL IN.

I don't see where MTU has represented that the Hoster Database contains all Song information that Hoster ALLOWS Importing.

A case-in-point would be any SoundChoice Mediacloqed Disc. SoundChoice provides Track information on these Discs but these discs will not Play in a Pioneer 888 Player.

The Bucket.MDB contains Disc/Track information on SoundChoice's Mediacloqed discs but Hoster cannot Import these Discs because the CDROM, which has nothing to do with CURRENT Hoster Programming, will not read these Discs.

Now, with that said, have you tried reinstalling Hoster? Sometimes this helps.

Are the discs, which are taking alot of time to read, scratched? Badly scratched discs can take an unbelievable amount of time to read, if at all.

Are you sure that your Reading Speed is set to MAX, for your CDROM, in the TOOLS/CD-DVD Drive Defaults Menu?

Have you installed any other BURNING Software that may have caused your CDROM to slow?

Does your CDROM read at the correct speed when Importing any other BRAND or when using any other BURNING Software?
