I do have dual cards and will check to see if I can duplicate this. I am not sure I would call this a bug, but I guess you can get in a hurry and cause it to happen if you don't stop the preview before closing. I'll let you know what I find.
Thanks Dale!

I do hesitate to do any updates because it is working perfectly other than this annoyance. I know you guys always say make sure you have all the upates other than hardware from Microsoft. Most of the changes made from 4.06 to 4.09d were fixes. Yes some features were added but does MTU really do updates every day and run their code against them? I don't think there would be that many but I will check them out. I guess I could get the updates then if I have problems, I could start up on my clone drive if a restore did not work. I will wait however to see if you can duplicate this. Sometimes I do get people asking if they can hear a version of a certain song and I just usually wait until I play a regular music song then load the song into Hoster and PFL(Pre fader listen) it from my sound board. The Hoster preview feature would be a lot easier as you can preview while you are playing from the Hoster Playlist. But as I say, I can work around it.

Thanks

P.S. It might not be a true bug, but it does shut you down. Although usually whatever database added songs will still be in your playlist, I don't think that songs imported to the playlist from a singers disk will survive a shutdown. It has happened to me on several occasions. This past winter, I was adding singers songs from thier disks and about every fourth song added would make Hoster crash. This could have been because some of those disks were so scratched and Hoster was really laboring to add them, still, when Hoster crashed, I had to re-import the singers disk songs and of course every song that had already been played in my playlist was refreshed. This made it pretty hard to start back up from where I left off.
