Have you checked where your save to folder at the bottom of the import screen is pointing to.

What brand is it?
Did you try rebooting? What version of Hoster are you using now?

i kinda solved the problem, in 4.11 if you can't find the info in local and online db, and if you open the tray to get the info and typed it in manually, and re-insert the cd back, you'll get the error msg. i posted, unless you have the cd cover and the disc is in the tray, you can typed in manualy and click inport it will go through, i think this would be a problem, since all my disc are on a cd folders and dont have the info. anymore, only what's on the disc, so if you don't have a back-up drive, and had to re-import using the disc, if the local/online db can't find the info you either have to write the info on a piece of paper or know the title by heart.

If you have to re-import the information is already in your Songs database and it is part of the local search along with the Bucket.
Also now you can update the Bucket monthly by re-downloading and installing the current version of Hoster each month. I have never had any problem if I pulled the disc out, type in the information and put it back in before I select the tracks to import. If you don't get the CD back in before doing this it will error out.

I don't think that is what Dale meant. If you type in the info first, then put the disk in I think it will blank the import data. What I think he meant was put in the disk let it read the disk, then take it out while you type in the data, then make sure you put it back in before selecting import all. Roy. |

Also make sure auto insert notification is turned off.

Just remember to insert the disc back in before you select the tracks to import next time.

The song list should also be on the the sleeve or jewel case the CDG came in. I have never tried removing the CDG after putting it in the drive and discovering the songs list isn't available locally or on line. I have also seen errors in the songs list that comes up so I always verify it against the sleeve.

Good point about custom CDs. Of course, for those you will never find the CDG in the bucket
I always create the artist/song list in a text file prior to ordering so that I can check the disk for correctness when it arrives. I use that to enter info rather than reading it off the CDG at entry time. I also understand that the bucket consists of all of our styles and entry errors. eg. Neil Diamond's America is usually "America the Beautiful" in the bucket. As for punctuation, I add it back in when missing as I like to see it in the songbook, though I agree you are better off without it when using Hoster. |

Actually that is a mis-labeling by Top Tunes. The song title is actually "Coming to America." The Bucket does not list it anymore as "America the Beautiful."
As far as the errors go MTU has one staffer who makes sure the spelling is correct. She may not catch everything but does catch a lot of the mistakes. If would help to, since we all know that it is our entries adding to the Bucket, if we make sure we have spelled and typed those titles and artists correctly.
