Duplicate bookid issue

[Captain C]

I made a major boneheaded move. I imported my CD’s to two different HD’s from two different machines. Then I copied the KMA files from one HD to another and rebuilt my DB on my show PC. Now I have several duplicate book ID’s. Does anyone know of a way to change the book ID’s or re-import the KMA files so the software reassigns a non-duplicate book ID? Or will I have to re-import all of these from CD again?

Run the Add instead of Rebuild for the database. That will take all the duplicates and reassign them a new BookID.

This worked great. I really appreciate all of your help! Thanks!

Dale,
I have 52 songs in the Duplicate Book ID's in BuildsongDBLog.txt.. If I tick ADD, will Hoster put them back into the system with new Book ID's?

Thanks,
Ernie

That's the way it is supposed to work. I had ten or so that I had to re-import because they had given me an error and they were also listed in the duplicate list, so if that is what happened then no it won't work. Only one way to find out....try it.
