Import from cdg

blochbuster · #1 June 30th, 2009, 02:32 PM

Well I've poked around and read threads, revisited requirements, updated vista(6/30/09), bought a new usb cable and Hoster still freezes up when I click on Import cd tracks (am trying to direct import from ext. Optiarc to copy as kma's). Am I doing the correctly?

Still works if I use MicroStudio but that's more steps especially to resave .bin to .kma's on ext. hdd.This is becomming a real nail biter

Any Suggestions?

Did you retest and set this drive as the default in the Tools- CD/DVD Drives?
Secondly make sure the external drive is plugged in, recognized by Windows (Windows Explorer and is the same drive letter each time.
Also have you made the changes needed in this link?

Just to add to Dales post:
From Hoster Click on Tools on top menu, select CD/DVD Drives, you should see a window open as shown in the attachment to this thread.

Make sure it is showing the correct, Drive Status Good & the correct reading drive in the bottom box then press Save.

Roy.

Thanks Friends- Clicking on Windows Expl. G/drive it says ; G:/ Application not found. I'LL poke around to try and fix- Appreciate suggestions. And yes, I've done the drive default and it is recognized and saved and re-visited install rules a number of time just to be sure (madcow desease)

and also bought new usb cable. Just as an update I said MS still imports as .bin and it still does convert to .kma but than I must erase bins off F: Drive (Ext. Hdd) and reimport .kma's using Song's Database Maintenance

The problem then is Windows is not recognizing the drive right. Hoster is trying to get to the drive and not able to thus it crashes when you open the Import from CD. Importing from Hard drive is a whole different section so they will not be affected the same way.
I am confused by what you are saying for this last part. Once you have imported from the BIN files it creates a new file (KMA) and adds the information to the Songs Database. Deleting the BIN files should have no effect on this and the KMA files will still be registered in Hoster. Try doing a search for one of the songs after you have deleted the BINs and you should see it listed. In simpler terms you don't need to do the last step you are doing unless you are moving the KMA files.

Thanks Dale, Im importing from optiarc to ms as .bin than to hoster it converts to kma than I delete .bin from ex. F: drive replacing with kma so i don't have both . It does seem windows is not recognizing the drive but Drive say the are workong proper and microsoft problem fixer says it sees no prob

ps off to work
