I'm not sure if I am understanding how the proposed new numbering system works, so I'll state what I think it is saying and my response to it. If I am wrong in my understanding, hopefully Admin, you can correct me.

Currently the system gives each DiscID a specific number (BookID Root) and then appends the song track to this BookID Root, giving us 62901....62915, etc.

My understanding of the proposed system is that each disc would not be given a specific number, but each song you import will be given a specific number, say starting at 1...2...3..., etc. No separate BookID number for each disc imported, but a SongID number for each song imported.

If I am understanding correctly, this would be a nightmare to keep your individual discs organized and know (if you have a problem with an import sometime in the future) what disc it was imported from. Currently I number each of my discs I import by the BookID Root. Also, if I have a disc that has a bad track that I don't want to import until I either resurface this disc or purchase a new one, I will go ahead and import the "good" songs and wait to import the "bad" songs later. With this new system, the track(s) from the same disc, when imported later will have a totally different number than the tracks I imported earlier. That will be a problem (at least for me).

If my understanding is correct with this new numbering system, I will probably not upgrade any longer since the current numbering system works perfectly for my situation. I don't have or use MP3G or ZIP files and never plan on using them, so this new numbering system would be of no use to me, only a problem. Possibly you could offer the new numbering system on a version of Hoster that is geared toward MP3G and Zip file systems and then have the version for those of us who only use CDG's in our system and leave that numbering system as it is. I would hate the fact that I couldn't upgrade to newer versions that have better features because it would totally screw up my current numbering system and cause me nothing but headaches and time in trying to figure out which songs belong with which discs.
