Hoster Newbie has questions

Hi,
I've had Hoster for a couple months and things have been working great. Now that I am using it I wonder if there are better ways for me to do certain things.

1. If I create a songlist of all my favorite songs and also create songlists for all my other regular singers songs I can easily retrieve them. However during a show I typically would use the default songlist since I am adding various songs to it as the night goes on. It would seem ideal if while a song was playing I could open another songlist and import a track into the default list. Right now I don't see any way of doing that. I believe the choices are to wait until the song ends and open the other songlist, play the song and then come back to the default songlist. Maybe there's a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do. Any ideas?

2. This may be more of a wish than anything else. Once you create a songlist the only information you have about the song is the title. You don't know which brand of CD it is etc. It would be nice if you could "right" mouse click on a song entry and get the "Properties" of that song that are available in the Search window. Again there may be some other way to do this, if so please let me know.

3. If you create custom songlists and select to have the songs removed after being played you essentially destroy your custom songlist unless you manually add the song back again before closing the list. If there was some way to differentiate between the default songlist and custom songlists with the songs being "persistent" in the custom songlists unless you delete them that would work well. Otherwise you always have the risk of deleting songs from the custom songlists you have created.

4. Along the same lines as the previous point, if you select to have the songs stay in the list where they show as "Played" after being sung one time you cannot play it again. That's kind of a pain if you are practicing a song and need to reload it each time.

As I said I'm a Newbie and I may just be doing things incorrectly but I would be interested in your thoughts and ideas on these issues.

Thanks,
