Doug,
I just tested the Merge command and it is working. What I did was Deleted my Songs.mdb. So that I had no songs in the system. I then Imported 1 cd with 12 songs on it, into a Folder Called OriginalDiscID1. I now have 12 songs with Book ID 1 in my database.

I then Deleted my Songs.mdb and moved this above created directory, so it would not be found by Hoster. I then Imported another Disc with 12 songs on it as BookID1 into a directory named Duplicated BookID1. I then closed Hoster, Deleted my Songs.mdb database. Now I moved this folder, so that it would also not be found, when I open Hoster back up. I then Opened Hoster, went to Build Songs Database command. I then set the Folder to the 1st folder listed above, OriginalDiscID1, and told it to build the database. I now have 12 songs in my database, that are BookID 1.

Now I go to the Merge KMA Files Command, and set this folder to the Second directory of Duplicated BookID1. I now click on Merge Files. It now tells me that it is merging 12 songs into the database, and when it finishes I now have 24 songs in my database.

I have noticed if the songs are already in the Database, with the same DiscID it will not merge them, and it will come back and tell you that there are no New Entries. When it merges the files, it then writes the new BookID back to the .kma file, so the statement below could be your problem.

Now, when you copy files from a DVD or CDR, the files will be set to Read Only, you might need to remove this attribute on the file. You do this, by right clicking on the Files, or Folder that you have copied from the Disc. Then Left click Properties. Remove the Check from Read Only.

Let me know what you find.
