Based on your initial post it appears that your file system is extremely inconsistant which is what will make importing from the hard drive slow and cumbersome.Files that are numbered and corespond to a disk will be easy as you just tell Hoster the brand and diskid and the root id you wish to use for that disk, for example you select 888-1 and Hoster would place every file that starts with 888 into the import list, you then tell it that it is a Chartbuster brand with a disk id of CBEP456-4, you then tell it to assign the rootid of 888 to that disk, and in 2-3 minutes (about 10 seconds per track importing .bin's) that disk is done.
With files that do not have something like a number or diskid with a track # to tie them together, you will have to go through that whole process 1 song at a time

The disk id is only used by Hoster to look up artist/title info when it is absent from the file, otherwise it has little to do with how you number things.
There are no rules saying you can't mix import methods. You could do the easy ones from the hard drive and the harder from CDG's. You'll just have to study your situation and see what's going to work best for you.
