When you try to Merge the database, it sounds like it doesn't know what to do with those invalid BookIDs. Normally, you use the Merge command when you have imported files on two computers and assigned the same BookID to two different CD disks.
My suggestion is to try this to see if that is the problem. If your Sonverter processed files are in a separated folder remove that folder from the database list and rebuild the database. Then run your Merge Database and see if it will run. If it will then that is your problem. At that point go back to those zip files and import them into Hoster the same way you did the others.



I believe this has been worked on in version 4.00, but if not I am sure they will. The problem here is actually not that the Merge isn't working, but that it is stopping after an error, when it should log the error files and go on to finish. Rebuild used to do the same thing, but now just logs the duplicates (which you could check to find out what files are causing the problem) and goes on to finish.

Too late on reverting back to zip files I took an earlier suggestion to reduce the number of folders then try the merge....I now can't pick which ones were converted using songverter. I did if fact try taking 6 kmas and converting to bins (songverter) then importing to hoster . Hoster reqcognized the diskid and bookid so it wasn't worth the trouble. I dont think i want to convert all my files to zips or bins then reimport. I'll have to check the duplicate bookids log and see whats there and maybe reimport the 7k files. I might be done by the time ver 5.0 is released.
