BookID-TrackID

BookID 1 with track 01 will be 101, track 02 will be 102, and track 15 will be 115. BookID 10 with track 01 will be 1001, track 02 will be 1002, and track 15 will be 1015. We had to add the leading zero to get everything to sort out properly in the Song Book and the list boxes for Add HD Track.

We suggest you just let Hoster auto assign them with the NEXT button. Then you never have to worry about it. However, you CAN enter a number if you want. If Hoster finds one already in use, it doesn't reuse it, but assigns the next lowest number if finds each time it searches the Songs.mdb database (where the BookIDs are stored).

We went through so much jirations to get the BookID (some of our valued clients really kept hounding us for this), that we never considered naming it SongID. That's a pretty good name actually. We may change it... and irk the ire of everyone...
