storing kma files?

[oncall]

when you guys rip cdg's to kma's. Do you create unique folders (directory) to store different songs (manufacturer type) etc, or do you just dump everything into one folder??

thanks,

Randy,
I keep all of my kma's in one folder. Hoster does the rest.

If you put them in separate folders then ALL of those folders have to be listed in the Database Build window. The database does not look in subfolders for song files the way HD Import will. So your best bet is to keep the number of folders down to a minimum. Like Jim all my KMA files are in one folder because it is easier for me.

Dale is right, and saved himself a lot of time and no worries.

Unlike other programs where you must know where your files are, MTU's Hoster doesn't force you to do anything. By using a true database manager, you no longer need to "worry" about where files are. Select it once, and forget it. We have many customers who have no knowledge of files and folders... and can use Hoster without any problems.

Thanks for asking this question. I'll add it to the 4.03 manual.

guys, another question, when we edit a song in hoster, are we editing tag info within file, so that when i backup my HDD, that info is there if i need to do a DB rebuild. Or is the edited information only stored in the Database?

Thanks,

Edited information should be saved to the header in the KMA file as well as the database.
