Re: rebuilding songdata base

I have been using the same Playlists from Day 1. My old ext. HD was named "K". A couple years later, I got a new/larger portable HD and transferred all my songs to it. When I tried using old playlists, Hoster didn't know where to look. I then renamed the new HD to "K" then I could use all the old playlists.

Hope this helps!
i was about to do that, the problem is she wanted to be able to plug this hhd(s) to her back-up laptop, just in case something happens to her show laptop, and she has other people that helps her out that i think never ran hoster before, thats where my problem begins, i had to find out what they did..and also she couldn't tell me what she really wanted to do, i wanted to tell her to get another extra drive for her back-up laptop and .... but anyway thanks for the suggestion/help..and also she does her search on the singers list, the only time she search for a song was if she has new people in.
