Sorry, it is as I suspected meaning that, since Editing a Trk causes the HEADER to Change, and, therefore, if the DB is Re-Built, Hoster will read HEADER info, as it Builds the DB, and Write that info into the Songs.MDB.
Originally, the EDIT SONGS Menu was programmed to EDIT the ONLY TYPE of Trk Hoster Imported, which was a CD IMPORTED KMA TRK. Now there are 5 (Five) Types of Trks, which are CDCDG (formerly know as, and Original TYPE=KMA), HDCDG, HDBIN, HDMP3G, and HDZIP.
The vast Majority, of Hoster Customers, are CD Importing Customers that this problem WILL NOT affect.
It was only recently that a decision was made to allow HARD DRIVE Imports in order to accommodate those Potential Customers who have large libraries stored on their Hard Drives.
As HARD DRIVE Importing is fairly new technology to Hoster, obviously, a minor setback has occurred in ONE module of all the intricate programming involved.
One way to fix any HD Imported Trks that were Edited is to use your Backup Trks and copy them to the Drive/Folder you use to run your Show. Hopefully, you will not have copied your Edited Trks over your Backup Trks.
If you are at a Show and you find that a Trk won't Play, you can Open the Songs.MDB, perform a SEARCH for the Trk in Question, TAB over to the TYPE Field and CHANGE the PREFIX from CD to HD...then the Trk will PLAY. This is a temporary fix as Re-Building the DB will cause the Prefix to CHANGE back to CD. The only Permanent Fix is to Re-Import the Trk.
If there is anyone who has EXCLUSIVELY Imported from the Hard Drive, EDITED several songs, and subsequently Re-Built their DB, it will be very easy to determine which Trks need to be Re-Imported to fix the Problem Trks permanently. Just perform an ALPHA Sort on the TYPE Column in the Songs.MDB. This will cause all the CDCDG Trks to be listed together. Simply note the DiscID of any Trk that is Listed as a CDCDG and Re-import the whole Disc or only the altered Trk(s) from that disc.
