first I moved all the current files out of the songs directory and deleted the songs database. I was going to import the zips and replace the bad kma files and then build song database again.
When trying to import some of the songs import and others dont. it just says error instead of imported. I have actually unziped some of the files to mp3.g and then they would import. i am clueless as to why this is.
If i try to play some of the zips some play and some start to play then stop. again if i unzip them they play fine. I have also gotten an compression rate too high error when trying to play some zip files
My friend uses sax and dottys and all the files play fine.
any reason why this is hapening? I thought updating the software may fix the problem altough i havent read anything like this on the forums or the bugs fixed on the updates.
Karaoke is kinda a low priority right now since we are doing large event production and huge VIP parties and concerts. I dont download the software updates as soon as they come out so i usually miss out because the links are dead.

Since you are using such an old version of Hoster then your first problem is to get up-to-date. This includes updating your Windows too, by using the Custom update from Microsoft's web site and installing all updates available. This will probably take at least 2 or 3 times as many need to reboot when installed.
More than likely some of those ZIP files were done with maximum compression, which until the very latest versions Hoster was not able to handle. To fix this you can rezip them at a lower compression or mearly unzip them and import them that way. If you look at the resulting KMA files they will be very close to the same size.
