Is this possible? I doubt it.
Most of us took three weeks or more
to import less than 1/2 of that.

OK, I love it when people reply without actually reading the post! Your post does nothing to help me, and it is actually a flame that there was no sense for, if you actually read my post. Please tell me were exactly in my post I said "two nights to import 1000 Cd's"? I assure you that my post says "Several nights". I also assume since your profile says you are in fact located in the US, that you have a grip on the English language. Never does several=two or any specific number for that matter. Reading through these posts, I see a lot of people flaming others and most of them are simply rude, with little detail paid to what the original poster said. If you are going to flame me, at least make sure you read the content of the actual post. I assure you, I have spent much more than two nights importing CDs and MP3+Gs.
Now, for those of you that are actually on here to help people, I will continue. I tried rebuilding the database but it did not help as I expected it wouldn't, because the files are actualy in fact corrupt. They are corrupt for reasons that had nothing to do with Hoster, they were simply corrupt before importing, and Hoster seemed to have made it through the import without verifying them. Probably because they we MP3+G that I backed up previously, and to the speed of that sort of import probably no verifacation happens which is fine. My question is not why these file are corrupt. I know this, but what I don't know is how many corrupt files I actually have. Hoster has the ability to determine this obviously because when I try to play the file, Hoster marks it as corrupt. So what I was wondering was if there was a tool, script or anything, that could go through the files, try to open them, and tell me which ones do not load correctly. One way to do this would be to add all songs in the database and let them continuously play, but this option is not a good one since the majority of songs are not corrupt and will actually play. With 3-4 minutes per valid song, this will take a very long time. I need something that will open one, if it opens ok, move on to the next one without playing the whole song. If this tool doesn't exist, it would be usefull to have in the future.
