They revert back to THM2005 because it is part of the name. So yes you will have to rename them. Additionally the track numbers can't be any more than 2 digits, hence the 99 limit. Are all of your files converted from SCDGs?

Someone else may need to verify this but I believe that those need to be zipped in order to import correctly.
Otherwise you may get music with no lyrics.

On the track number drop down they are listed wierd but there and I can play them. They list like 01-10 the next number is 100 to 109 then 11 then 110 to 119 then 12 then 120 to 129 13, etc... As far as I know it stays like that unless I rebuild my database. Then the track drop down goes from 00 to 99 and a search of THM2005 only shows up to 99.

The reason they are out of order is because of windows sort priority. When they are importing the leading zeros get dropped.

The 99 "rule" as you call it happens to be the way the database was set up to allow for 2 digits/spaces in the database record for the track number. Remember that SCDGs with 1000+ songs can't be imported directly. CDs can't store more than 99 songs, so MTU set it up to only use 2 digits.

The program doesn't read from the folder and since the rebuild drops to the 99 limit, then all you will be able to see and use in Hoster will be those 99.
To over come those limitations you will need to rename those files to make them import in groups of 99. I know this is a pain but for now that is the only way I can see it working.
