Using 3.321, I import probably 15000 songs directly from CD. I import probably 6000 from zip files.
I upgraded to 4.03. I open Hoster 4.03 and it automatically started to build the database and the data base found 21,642 songs. I got the window that said "Some KMA HDZIP files were built into your database. These files must be converted to KMA HDMP3G files. Please close and reopen Hoster now to make this happen". I close this window. I close Hoster. I reopen Hoster. Question: Was something suppose to happen on its own???
I tried removing hoster 4.03 and reinstalling....same things occurred as described above.
If I search for a song and put it into the playlist and if this song show a type of HDZIP, it will play but then it changes into a HDMP3G which won't play as the gentlemen explained at the beginning of this post.
I am overseas and I didn't bring a single karaoke CD with me, so I can't delete songs as many users have mentioned in various threads.
I did backup my 21000 kma files on a external hard drive before upgrading to 4.03.
I did print the entire 4.03 manual and I am trying to make sense out of its directions of converting, but I guess that I am missing something out of its explaination.
Please comment, Kelly

Kelly version 4.02 had a conversion program in it that was supposed to convert (unzip) any zip files you had to MP3+G. In 4.03 this is disabled because of problems that appeared. Unfortunately they missed a couple of parts of this.
The message you get when you rebuild is for you to re-open Hoster to trigger the conversion program. Minor glitch that it was left in there but not a problem. Just click ok and go on.
The changing of your playlists to HDMP3G from HDZIP was also part of this to correct existing playlists so they would play the converted files. Unfortunately this means anytime you want to play those files you will have to enter them into the playlist fresh instead of being able to play from the existing entry until they can fix this.
