Duplicate Files
I don't know if this is what you are supposed to do but this seems to work for me! I have been using two computers to import songs using Hoster 4.0. After I import them on one machine
I go to the folder they are in and Highlight them Using right click and shift right click so all are Highlighted then I use either Move or Copy to a flash drive using windows XP Move/copy to feature.
I then Check to make sure they actually did go on the flash drive.
Then I move them into the folder that I want them in on the second computer ( Now using a 500 gig external HD) Using the same Move/Copy in My computer section.
I then check again to see if they actually went into the folder I wanted.
Next I open the tools database add to in Hoster. Click on the add folder select the one the songs are in and hit Add. This merges the songs into the database, and renumbers them, with next availiable number. I do get a message that says errors duplicates found with the option of opening the Database log. I don't pay much attention to it because it also tells me that x number new songs were added to the database which coresponds to the number of new files I added to folder. This appears to be working fine. My search will find the song ok and plays ok no duplicates with the same Book ID appear. The new merge feature is a life saver. I tried using 4.0 to import and then rebuild database in 3.108 and It just would not work the duplicate Book Id's did not showup in the database.
