Quick. Make a copy of your songs_backup.mdb file and you'll save the info. the backup songs mdb should be a copy of the one you lost. Songs_backup is always a copy of the one that's about to be re-built so if you rebuild a second time before saving it, it will be lost.
After saving it. delete or rename the current songs.mdb. Then take the songs-backup.mdb and change its name to "songs.mdb" and it will be as before, but not in the kma header. It will work for song book making purposes.

Hoster doesn't look at the kma header for it's info to play a song. It looks at the database. About the only time it will look at the kma header is when it's rebuilding the database

Hopefully your backup is still good.
There may also be a "temp_songs.mdb that is usable, but I haven't experimented with them enough to know definitively.
