File format
With regard to your comments...
"What is to complete? You don't have to tell Microstudio what the extension is, but only the order and seperators for the the file name. This works exactly the way the Import from Hard Drive works in Hoster. My guess would be that 1/2 of your song files have a different separator set-up so won't list correctly."
I agree that I shouldn't have to tell MicroStudio what the extension is, but when it reads some of the files one way, importing "Unknown" as the title and imports the Title as "Artist", sumpin' ani't working right. My thinking was/is that if I could show the terminator/file type separator (.), it might ensure that what came before was "Title - Artist", but the program won't let me place that "." without something in the following field and that is only "&This", "DiskID" or "Track", even though the manual indicates differently, and I quote:
"Typical filenames use separators to end each field string such as "-" or "_-_" or " - " and ".". Some of these characters such as "_" or "-" or "space" may also be in a field string (ex: Newton-John, Olivia or Parton,_Dolly). If there is a problem, edit your filenames. You can either choose the ending characters from the drop-down list, or type in up to 3 characters, spaces and/or symbols for each field. The last separator field must contain a "." period.
NOTE: Unlike the Field list boxes where you can only select from the drop down list, in the Separator list boxes you can also type in up to three characters, symbols and spaces. This allows you to define any field order with any separators your filenames may contain."
ALL of my songs are in the identical format... "TITLE - ARTIST" and they ALL imported into Hoster without a problem, so the file format should not be an issue. I can convert back to *.zip and the contents are "Title - Artist.mp3" and "Title - Artist.cdg" so all indications are that the file headers are intact.
