Converting Zip files in 4.02

I have just upgraded to 4.02 which required to convert zip to mp3g files on my song database. My question is when I import more songs that are zipped will this conversion be automatic.

What benefit will I receive by this conversion?

Thanks, Stu

Stu,
Yes. Zip files have to be unzipped to be played. This is an extra step that is not needed. Hoster converts your zip files to HDMP3 files when they are imported.

Handling zip files is extra work for Hoster that is not needed. Without having to unzip and rezip files our shows will run faster, less dead air between songs.
