The wmv is a video file format. Are you sure they aren't WMA?

You are going to have problems with these because they don't any separators.You can import them with just the title as the first column and leave the separator blank after it. However those that have a track number will have that included in the title. All artist fields will be "Unknown " unless you know who they are and can go through the list and add them.
If you have the CDs it would be better to re-rip them in a format that will work. ALso that would update the files to much better ripping as even Windows Media Player has progressed in that department to much better quality.
In WMP11 click on tools/options. Find the Rip Music tab. On this tab select Windows Media Audio (WMA). Also click the "File Name" Button. In this dialog I would suggest setting it to Title, Artist and Track Number. Also set the separator as the Dash.
Then when you set up Hoster to import them you can custom setup the items. If they are in the order I listed them you would put Title in the first block, the "-" in the small second block, Artist in the next block, the "-" in the next and Track number in the next. Then set Brand to Custom Assembly and the DiskID to your own made-up number. Set your BookID to what you want it to be. I have started mine at 5001 to isolate the audio from the karaoke.
