merging kma files

[rmryanjr]

I looked at the exsisting threads and couldn't find anything that specificallly addresses my problem..

First, I'm using an external HD and both folders reside on the same external HD.
The exsisting folder works well (we'll call this folder "a") When I try to merge folder "b" I open the tools/merge files. Then I select the folder I want to merge (folder "b" to bring into my exsisting dbfor use) . I then select the " merge into songs database" button.
Hoster then either stops imediately or at a specific point an shuts down hoster. I have to completely reopen hoster and nothing was merged at all.
I treid a few different senerios but nothing worked.
Does anyone have any sugestions?
