I have received excellent help from Gduns, Nreel, Beavis, and ADMIN on this before. I have read and reread the manual(which is excellent, by the way) on reimports. I think my problem is that I haven't stated my situation clearly. Please let me try again?

1) I imported a disc of 15 songs, assigned it Disc ID 4-05, and the book ID to 405.

2) Track number 15 was unsatisfactory and needs to be reimported.

3) I have a good copy of track 15 as a bin file in a folder on the HD.

4) As previously advised, I prefaced this filename with
405-15 - and this worked quite well.

5) When I click "add files" the file DOES come up on the track list with the correct song title and artist and as track
number 15 disc id 4-05.

6) I now assign book ID as 405 so this track will have a final book ID of 40515 , consistent with others from the disc.

7) When I click on "import file" here is where I get the message "Book ID already in use, please assign another Book ID".

I believe the program, at this point, checks for existing book ID's and DOES NOT allow any way to append to the existing when reimporting from the HD.

However, I have re-imported tracks from discs and it DOES append to existing book ID's quite well. But does not allow this to happen from a HD-import over a previously imported disc.

I wonder if I start over (erase all disc ID 405 files) and import track 15 from the HD first, then import the other 14 tracks from the disc afterwards.

I did this: Put the track #15 from the HD folder in first, then went to the original CDG and clicked on the first 14 songs (a good 15th already in there from HD-import).

CONCLUSION: For some reason, the program will NOT allow the mixing of import/reimport of HD-bin and discs. It will not allow the same bookrootID.

The easiest way now would be to put dummy songs on a cd-rw. Here is my problem here. The rewrite disc always says "disc not empty".
My question: Is there a special unique way to burn music on cd-rw that is erasable and reusable, or a certain type of music cd-rw required for this? Or would you suggest simply using 15 cd-r's to do this? I know they are inexpensive enough.

Sorry for the wordy post, but I want to let you know exactly what I've done so far, and I really appreciate all your guidance so far, but am still in need of your help, Please, as I have 15 OR 16 discs I have to do this to.
