How to import KMA to Hoster

[rickyrey]

I used Songverter to convert some MP3+CDG files to KMA then How do I import those KMA to Hoster?

Why not import the MP3+Gs directly into Hoster? You are adding an extra step that isn't necessary.
If you are trying to add those kma files into Hoster then copy the KMA files to your location with the other KMA files, open Hoster and Merge the database. This should add the new files and assign them a bookid. It will start with whatever bookid is next available, but you won't have any control in what number is assigned.

I read a thread that says that when you import the way you are suggesting the MP3+CDG's are not included in the songbook.

I tried to do the KMA merge but there are 138 kma's in the folder and Hoster show just two of them after it finished the process

Any hints about what happened?

Thanks for your help

Another question
then, why MTU includes converting to KMA in Songverter if you can't do nothing with files converted to KMA?

Either that thread was wrong or you misinterpeted it because Anything imported into Hoster will be included in the songbook, no matter what it's original file type was.

Hard to tell anything without knowing the procedure you used. There is a log file created when you use merge (3.321 has a button you can click from the merge kma window - otherwise it's in the Hoster folder I believe) that you can see any file not imported and why.

These files can be imported into Hoster or used by Microstudio, In my opinion (as Dale noted) it's not usually the easiest way to do it but I have used it to do these things usually when I use it, it's to change a kma to a wma+g and edit a lyric file or a sound file and then turn back into a kma.
