What is the simplest...way to import songs...from my own discs that are already logged in my current songbook as disc numbers such as 854 , 855, etc., etc.
|
With this example, I will use Disc #854
With Hoster OPEN:
1. Insert Disc #
854 in the CDROM.
2. Open the
IMPORT CD TRACKS Window.
3. Click the DROP DOWN arrow to the right of the
BRAND and select
CUSTOM ASSEMBLY
4. Click INTO the
DISCID Box and TYPE the Number
854
5. Click INTO the
BOOKID Box and TYPE the Number
854
6. Click the
ADD TRACKS TO IMPORT Button
STOP! Read the response to the second question before proceeding.

Your ACTUAL Discs may contain Title and Artist info, before the .BIN extension, but Hoster WILL NOT be able to populate its TITLE and ARTIST List Box when the
ADD TRACKS TO IMPORT Button (#6 above) is Clicked.
Therefore, the answer to your second question is:
There is NO QUICK WAY...period.
Continue to STEP 7:
7. TYPE in all TITLE and ARTIST information into that correspond to EACH Trk.
8. Click the
SELECT ALL Box
to CHECK it, if it has not already been Checked.
9. Click
PROCESS SELECTED TRACKS.
DONE.
REPEAT for EACH Disc that you have.
Make a note as to the time it takes to process Disc #854. Multiply that times the number of Discs you have left to get the time it will take to complete the task.
With the above procedure, YOUR Disc #854 will be:
Assigned DiscID 854
and
Assigned BookID 854
Your CURRENT printed Song Lists will, then, work for either looking up by BRAND, which I would never do, because it takes THREE clicks and THREE choices to finally add a Song to the Playlist, or SIMPLY enter the BOOKID, which would correspond to YOUR Song Lists DISCID.
In other words:
DiscID=BookID
So, when a Singer submits a request Slip with what they would be submitting as a DISCID of 85401 or 854-01 (However you have them listed in your Song Lists), which would be DISC 854 and TRACK 01, then, you would SIMPLY TYPE this number, without the DASH (-), in case your are using 854-01 as printed in your Song Lists, and, as submitted by the Singer, into the BOOKID Box, in which, the BOOKID is what makes Hoster soooooo unique.
ONLY HAVING TO ENTER A BOOKID is infinity quicker than adding a SONG via the BRAND!
I hope this helps,
