I think it's wonderful that MTU has expanded their list of drives that now function within Hoster, but it's unfortunate that it appears to have been at the expense of the Plextor functionality. I have had nothing but problems with importing a song from a singer's disk since upgrading to 3.310. I have a Plextor Premium. I have removed and reinstalled both .NET 2.0 and Hoster and things are as good as their going to get. As such, I'm so nervous about doing the import during a singer's song that I just won't do it anymore. I make people either sit through the silence (which is now quite lengthy, since it frequently takes 60-90 seconds for it to even "read" the track before it starts processing) or I do it while I'm singing (and hope I know the words to the song). I would tend to say the import causes problems 40-50% of the time - it freezes the graphics on the singer's display (as well as within the little display windows within Hoster) for the entire "pre-process" time. Once it goes from the hourglass to the status bar, the display comes back, the the SND comes up as the active screen and blocks out part of the singer's display. I've noticed that the "countdown" of the currently playing song also freezes during this time, but I think this occurs even when the graphics don't freeze. I'm using a Shuttle PC that's only about a year old - 2.4GHz processor, 1 gig memory, Windows XP SP1. I hate the thought of having to ditch my expensive Plextor drives, especially when these were the ones we were told to buy in the first place. Any modifications that can be made in the future to put Plextor back at the top of your list (or at least not at the bottom) would be greatly appreciated. I have posted in the Hoster Help forum but nothing has resolved my issues.
