Then when I tried to play straight from the HD, it gave me the same popoup box.
I had to uninstall 4.0 and re-install before it would play them again,even from the HD.
Hoster can only use Zip files with two files included. Those would be the MP3 and CDG files. If there are any other files in the zip it will give you an error message and not be able to import them.

If you use the main screen K-oke button to temporarily import it then it will ignore any other files in the zip, because you cannot control what formats others use.

Haven't seen this so may be something MTU needs to look at.

Anybody else had these issues?? The .nic thing really has me baffled as they now play fine from hoster or straight from th HD
Hoster has alimitation of 99 files per BookID, so it will stop at that point instead of rolling over to the next BookID. This is supposed to be corrected later to allow converted SCDG to be loaded using multiple BookIDs.
Just out of curiousity those files you have with the .NIC files, did you download those from ITunes? If so they probably won't import. I tried and also looked for a conversion program and no such luck.
