For the ABOVE, you should be using:

DiscID, DASH (single, no spaces), TrackNo, SPACEdashSPACE, Artist, Title, PERIOD

It reads right across the line, left to right.

Why would you use &This after DiscID? Using &This after the DiscID would mean to ADD the -01, which is YOUR TRACK NUMBER, to Cbe19 resulting in a DiscID of Cbe1901. If you did this, you would be left without a TRACK NUMBER!

For this song I used:
discid, dash, &this, dash, track, space dash space, artist, space dash space, title, "." (Emphasis Added)
Quote 3
Quote:
Using this format results in the message that the seperator in field 4 is wrong which is space dash space and should be correct. (Emphasis Added)
Let me get this straight. You wrote:
Field 1 = discid
Field 2 = dash
Field 3 = &this
Field 4 = dash <---matches what you wrote above, in BOLD/RED

Then you wrote that Hoster is pointing out that FIELD 4 is wrong and YOU state: "which is space dash space and should be correct."

I don't understand this. You wrote, in the 2nd Quote, that you are using a DASH.

Then, in Quote 3, you state that you are using Space Dash Space.

Well, which is it? SPACE or SPACE DASH SPACE?

You can use:
discid, dash, &this, dash, track, space dash space, artist, space dash space, title, "."

on

Cbe19-01 - Presley, Elvis - Jailhouse Rock

by changing what Hoster told you to Fix, which is Field 4, resulting in:

discid, dash, &this, space dash space, track, space dash space, artist, space dash space, title, "."

resulting in Hoster interpreting your Song Description as:

Cbe1901 - Presley, Elvis - Jailhouse Rock

But, without a Track Number, Hoster will only Import ONE Track because Hoster will assign Track Number ONE to each Track, and, of course, you can only have one "Track ONE" per BookID.

You could BATCH Import and Hoster will assign its own Track Numbers.


I renamed my Cbe-19 to your naming scheme of Cbe19 and what I Posted, at the beginning of this POST, of:
DiscID, DASH (single, no spaces), TrackNo, SPACEdashSPACE, Artist, Title, PERIOD
will work fine.

You may need to MANUALLY Select the BRAND as Hoster is having a slight problem with filling in the BRAND automatically. But, in SINGLE MODE Importing, you are there observing what is happening anyway and it only takes a second to manually Select the Brand.

Hope this puts this to rest,
Norm
