On songverter block 2 "Source format" I chose "KMA Karaoke Files (*.kma with audio + lyrics). On songverter block 4 "Target Format" I chose "Zip Karaoke Files (*.zip with mp3 + cdg)". I then pushed "Convert Now" That action bought up the proper artist/title. I imported the song into Hoster as a zip and it played great (for the 45 seconds demo). On block 4, I could have selected "MP3+G Karaoke Files (*.mp3, +*.cdg) like you mentioned and for the same reaseons too!
Two things...Will my headers remain the way that I changed them in their zip format then I imported them into hoster? I added little comments into the zip header and I don't know if those comments go into the titles of the mp3 and cdg files within the zip???
Other thing...I got ten thousands zip songs in hoster to convert using songverter, how could i identify them quickly and run the converter process. I hope that you can understand this. It would be a very slow process to pick one song at a time.
Plus, do I really need to do this or is MTU going to implement a fix in a hurry!!!
Thanks

You should convert in Songverter to MP3+G without making it a KMA. Songverter does not add the BookID for Hoster to the KMA files it creates.
The Titles and Artist information comes from the file name inside the zip, not the zip header itself so any comments you add thre will not be included.
Since you know how to open and read the songs.mdb file then you should be able to sort them by type and get all the ZIP files together in one group and determine from that.
I have no idea when MTU will fix this and may not but will get the conversion working right. Zip files will not be used at all in Hoster in the near future because they cause too many problems and save very little space.
