I understand that, but when you edit the songs from the tools/edit songs menu, should they not work properly then? I know that when you do this, it changes those items in the database as I have looked at it. Evidently the database is only used to prepare song books or the search functions.
Also, why does this work around thing work. Evidently when you edit a song the song header is updated for certain functions like CDG but not .bin or anything that is already on the hard drive. My usual importation procedure is as follows:
1. I import into Microstudio.
a. This way I have a backup of the disk and can make custom disks.
2. I import into Hoster
a. This is to use in the shows etc.
I do this when the CDG is taken out of the package. I do it this was mostly because the disk is brand new and when I import, I want no scratches or imperfections on the disk.
MTU allowed importation from the hard drive several versions back. This was something I was happy they did because I thought It would give me the opportunity to not have to type titles and artists in twice. (Not so) Most of the time, the CDG's that I buy to import are not in MTU's latest version of Hoster's database. Those CDG's could have been Multiplex or regular CDG.
At any rate, thanks Dale for responding. Your efforts at trying to resolve problems with the Hoster software in these forums is very admireable. The fact the MTU has such forums so people can voice their pleasures and concerns connected with their software is a testiment to fact that they are the best in the business.
See ya
