Since Skybird has edited on both computers simply using a copy of songs.mdb will only trade one problem for another. If Skybird is using a single external HD between two computers, then yes, using a copy of the database would be the quicker easy way to keep up-to-date, but the problems need to be fixed first.
Nowhere in Skybird's posts do I find any indication of a "degraded header". It all seems to boil down to the fact that when using merge, Hoster will not re-read the header for a kma that is already in the database.

So, one could conclude that ReBuilding the Songs DB would be something that one doesn't want to do lightly.
I haven't rebuilt my Songs Db in over a year.

Building the database is a read-only operation, it make zero changes to the KMA's,it only reads the changes that she made in the edit songs screen. When I'm beta testing Hoster I will sometimes rebuild the database several times a day. It's just not that big of a deal, and since it is a read only operation, Skybird can keep a copy of the old songs.mdb (as I noted in my earlier post) and replace the new one if there is a problem.
