OK, last night I checked a few things out.

First I used Windows Explorer to look at kma's on USB drive. Still lists only 99 files. Should be over 7000.

I then started Hoster and used search feature to add songs to playlist.
I purposely picked songs that I knew were not not found in Windows Explorer.
This was hit and miss. Some OK, some not.
One of the songs that wasn't found was 42907 Bookid and track. So I wanted to see if other tracks on that disc was a problem so entered 42901 in Bookid dropdown (not search window) and added it to playlist. That worked fine. I then looked in drop down list to see if 42907 was listed and it was. I selected it and clicked add and it worked. So, then I went back to search window to see if it was just the search window not working right. I searched for 42907 and clicked add and this time it worked fine whereas before it didn't.

I then went back to Windows Explorer to see how many files are displayed there now and it was the same. 99 files.

I noticed that all the files listed in Explorer were alphabetical. A-C (All Hits to Chartbuster) Explorer will just not read on this drive past 99 files. The files are there but obviously not working correctly. Sometimes not at all, other times OK. At this point my main concern is how can I backup all the files that are there if Explorer can't see them. Hoster see's some of them, even when Explorer don't. But Hoster also can't read them all the time.

My drive is a 250GB Maxtor IDE in a USB case. I thought that maybe my problem is with the case itself so I will probably drop the IDE HD in computer and see if that's it.

I also have another USB case that I could try and see if that does anything different.

Just thinking out loud mostly,
Wally
