Converting Zip Files

I want to convert a few zip files and connot figure it out. Here are the instructions I am following:
  1. You must keep up with what files you have already imported.
  2. To create a record in the Songs Database, each file must have these five fields identified during importing: Brand, DiscID, Track, Title, Artist. Below explains how these are obtained.
  3. When you select one file in the Open Dialog with a DiscID, Hoster automatically locates all filenames with the same DiscID.
  4. If the DiscID within the filename is not found in the Import Database, you are prompted to enter the Brand in its field.
  5. Each filename MUST have a DiscID within it. If not, you must edit the filename and add the DiscID. If not, you cannot import that file.
  6. If the Track# is not identified in the filename, the Title and Artist fields are probably wrong if anything other than UNKNOWN. Verify them later by playing in the Playlist.
  7. IF the Title and Artist fields are missing in the filename, and its DiscID is not found in the Import Database, then UNKNOWN appears for both Title and Artist.
  8. If you ever see multiple Track numbers in the Track List window showing Trk "0", the Track field definition in the filename is not defined correctly and an alphabetic field is being found instead of a numberic field.
  9. Hoster will only import one DiscID worth of files at a time.
  10. Unattended importing of multiple DiscIDs at a time is currently not supported
Here is a sample of the songs I want to import:
CBEP451-1-01 - Snow, Hank - I'm Moving On
CBEP451-1-02 - Frizzell, Lefty - Always Late With Your Kisses
CBEP451-1-03 - Williams, Tex - Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette

As you can see, the songs all seem to be in the proper format. When I click on the first song on the list, all the songs show up and it tells me the brand is not found. I select Chartbuster Essential Plus 451 from the drop down list thedisc ID is grayed out with the correct discID number. I select the next book ID, I select all track, prosess selected tracks, it shows all tracks being imported. However only the last song was actually imported and is listed by itself in the "songs" folder as ESP451-1. I have also tried doing the songs individually without much luck also. Is this a GLITCH??
