So 1 problem with 5.04 requiring to rebuild my database to work it; is putting 1 in for the name and artist on a # of songs. This I can live with because I could easily fix them if not for problem # 2.

2. The second problem is; 3/4 of my BookIDs are wrong in the new database - I realized that they didn't match while attempting to fix problem # 1. I did a match of the 2 files by BookID and only 1/4 of my songs still have the same BookID.

Since I see no mention of this, I guess I must be the only one it happened to.
Wayne, as to problem #1, we are upgrading an old (~2004) utility that opens the current Songs.mdb and updates each KMA/KMH file header with the Songs DB fields. This is a simple "run it" and its done utility. If you haven't retitled all your "1" fields, please wait. Since you have this problem, you are able to test it for us. If things go as planned, we'll have it in 1-2 days. If not, it won't be finished.

Wayne, as to your Problem #2, we found a bug in 5.02 and fixed it. Please believe me, we have a CONSTANT FOCUS on adding new features to PRESERVE BookIDs. I simply don't have an answer. You are right in that you are the only one reporting this problem. I'd almost say your computer farkled in some way as your Songs DB was being rebuild. It can happen.
