I was quite surprised to see any of this as well. When I used the earlier version of Microstudio on the same hardware I didn't notice anything awry. I am at work right now and will have to get more specific specs when I get home tonight.
But I can say I got no errors when reading in the 'My Music' list. I also sorted it in different ways to try to see what was missing. When looking at a CDG, even a *custom assembly* CDG, it listed all the tracks and played the songs and even recorded the music to the hard disk.
It is a DELL desktop and is tight on memory. I believe the video card steals system memory. I could try disabling the 2nd display. I did have to increase the resolution to get the Microstudio window to display properly and that would take more memory. I don't remember having to do that on the earlier release.
Related to the slow lyrics view, the entire Microstudio windows jitters as if it is constantly being repainted.

After upgrading to 4.20 I started it up to play with a bit.
3 problems I noticed:
1. I have all of my kma files in a single folder on an external HD. Hoster generated and sees all of them. Microstudio doesn't see all of them. I have verified that it sees none of my *custom assembly* files (many of which I burned to CGD using the previous verson). I will do a more thorough look to see if there are other conditions for files not being seen, but thought I had enough info to ask about it.
Do you get a message saying some files would not process at the end of the refresh?
2. The lyrics view window is painfully slow. The song is half way played by the time the title screen is displayed. This happens with any brand I play and regardless of whether it is a KMA file or a CDG.
What kind of computer (Desktop or Laptop)?
Processor speed?
What video card and how much memory on it?
3. The CD drive test failed my Plextor disk drive that the Hoster test passed. I manually flagged the drive as good and it worked.
It could be the drive is no longer writing discs which could effect the test. What Model of Plextor?
I am using the current releases of Hoster & Microstudio on XP with 1 GB memory (the hardware won't take more memory). The PC is configured to run Hoster on dual displays and does so perfectly. I am only having troubles with Microstudio and I don't believe I saw any of these issues with the previous release.
