Hoster crashes when importing ZIP files

steverosarito · #1 February 23rd, 2006, 08:29 PM

I am new and just setting up my gig computer with Hoster. I am importing a lot of ZIP files (Zipped MP3+G's). I first write the ZIP files to a directory on my internal C drive and I import these with Hoster to my "songs" directory on another internal drive. (I'm using a desktop PC). These are very large directories of ZIP files (over 1500 files). It keeps crashing.

(Hoster stops and asks if I want to notify Microsoft of the problem.) When I restart Hoster it takes up where it left off, but after 150 or so successful imports it crashes again. I have looked at the file names to be sure they are consistent with the parameters I am specifying in the ZIP import section of Hoster. Is there an absolute (or practical) limit to the number of total titles I can manage with Hoster? How about the number of files in the Hoster "Songs" directory? Do all my imported songs need to be in the same directory?

is your computer up to date with windows updates ?

Brand new computer (P4 2.8), all updates done prior to installing Hoster. Hoster is the only program (other than Windows) installed on the computer. XP Pro 2nd Service Disk.

Nice restaurant, Bevis! I do karaoke 3 nights a week at Bobby's by the Sea Restaurant and Bar on the beach in Mexico 30 miles south of San Diego.

I found a way around the problem....I process the ZIP files into MP3+G files with MP3+3 Toolz, then I import the MP3+G files into Hoster....no problem.

What version of Hoster are you running? You can find out by clicking the Help menu, About Hoster... command. Post it here.

I seem to recall there was a limit discovered in versions prior to 3.301...

I have the latest version downloaded this week.
