mp3-g and hoster

[MrMark]

I have an external hard drive with 115,000 mp3G's I want to incorporate these songs into hoster......I notice a tab under add track named mp3g. I hit this tab and it directs me to a folder location...yada yada yada....I have all my discs in order as they are with my .kma files.....how can I import these mp3g files into my hoster and use both? will hoster read the ID tag on the mp3g and give me the info to make a database???? please explain how I can use both .kma and mp3g files and have them both in a data base? Have I lost you yet? I would like to use hoster instead of running off and buy another product

Thanks for helping....when u do that is.

What version of Hoster?
Do you have these files already in KMA format in Hoster or are these new never imported files?
Are you talking about "ImportSongs/Import Hard Drive Files" when you are saying "add track"?
No Hoster does not read the MP3 ID Tag. The files usually are named with at the least Title and Artist where you will have to supply the brand and diskid. If your files have the Brand, Diskid,Track, Title and Artist then it will be easy because all the information needed is there.
When you import the MP3Gs into Hoster it creates a KMA file of it with a bookid and becomes part of the list as well as being added to where ever you have your KMA files.

so would it be easier to just buy another product that will import and cataloge the mp3g files......converting 115,000 to kma will take eons??

Actually the conversion time is 3-4 seconds per file. Any program is going to take a long time cataloging 115,000 files for playing and I don't think you would be happy with it. The process doesn't change the file itself, but adds a KMA header to the file so Hoster can identify it. If you add one to the playlist (after it is imported) it will list as an HDMP3 file.
Are these files MP3+G karaoke song files or MP3 audio music files?
How are the individual files named?

If they are going to go that route, MTU's Songverter is a much better program but it's not free.
