When you try to import them into Hoster you can with a little work but why doesn't Microstudio name them in the Hoster style which is
typically in one of the "user define button styles" none of which start off with artist name.
I have been importing my CDG disc into bin files then converting them to zip files since they take up less space. It would be much simpler if I did not have to define the field order.

Well, one of the purposes was to allow BIN files to import into Hoster. So, in Hoster 3.314 we'll add a radio button for "Artist-Title-DiscID-Track". Of course, you can very easily change the field order in the "Import hard drive files" screen, not just click the preset radio buttons. So, I don't quite understand that we have a real problem here. We will add the new radio button though. It used to be there and was removed for space reasons. We probably will have to convert one of the other selections to this one.
Care to vote which gets changed/removed? 
I'm sorry, but we won't add more flexibility into Microstudio to allow users to change the stored filename. A large sector of our users already are confused by the flexibility we had in the past versions.
Maybe you're not aware, but converting BIN to MP3 audio is damaging the quality more than WMA would. Then, when you "import/convert" your ZIP files into KMA, we don't uncompress, we retain your MP3 compression. Thus, the quality is what you will get when played back in Hoster. Please understand that for 22 years we supported the most demanding audio studio folks, and so we are accustomed to "QUALITY", and MP3 was NEVER used in that market. If you are OK with MP3, then use it. We'll add the radio button.
