Out of Memory Error (sorry I posted in Microstudio earlier)

[GMANN]

Just got Hoster Lite everything is going well. I started into my collection and began importing tracks the other day.
After 792 songs were imported (4.17GB) to C:\KMA Files , the import program gave me an "out of memory" error.
Well, the laptop is new and has plenty of memory on the C: drive (200 GB) so I thought maybe Windows places some kind of limit to the folder size (not likely, but my thought at the time).
So I created c:\KMA Files 2 folder to write the imported KMAs to and it works fine (then when I rebuilt song database I just included this new folder in the drive path).
So, it works just fine now, but I thought it was a little unusual.

Anyone else get that message upon import?

(By the way, I plan to use an external USB drive to store KMAs once I make the first pass through all my music)

di you restart the laptop and see if it does it again ?

Hey Beavis, thanks for the response.
I did in fact re-start the computer just to see if that would help.
I tried to download to the original \KMA files folder (with the 792 files on it at 4.15GB) and I got the same message (Little "Hoster" window pops up with "err out of memory").

I suspected that possibly my laptop was configured for FAT32 file system (I thought maybe there used to be some kind of 4GB limit issue??) At any rate, disk is configured NTFS.

So, after that is when I made my 2nd folder \KMA files2 and that seems to be doing the trick. I am able to see, search, play all songs etc. I currently have 792 files (4.15GB) in folder :\KMA files and I also have 459 files (2.15 GB ) and counting in folder :\KMA files 2. When I re-build database, Hoster sees all 1259 files and works perfectly.

I figure when I get to 600 or so files on :\KMA files 2, I will just create :\KMA files3 and keep going.
