Huge issue

[gotrich]

Last time i added new songs to my machine then tried to copy them to my backup it got all messed up.

If I take just the new files to the back up machine what do i select when updating the database.

4.06 hoster

When you imported the new songs you probably used bookids that already existed on your other computer, which means you got "Duplicate Bookid" error messages.
Use the "Add" instead of "Rebuild" database. This will reassign those files to new BookIDs.

If you mean what I think you mean, you just want to copy your latest imported files to your backup folder. Try this: open the folder where your .kma are, on the top line of the folder where the headings are see if you have "date modified" listed. If so click this and it will put your files in order of date then you can select the new ones and copy them to your other drive. If you can't see "date modified" right click the titles bar and you should get a list of things to add to the bar.
Hope this helps.

If you don't keep track of what BookIDs you have used then if you re-use them it is going to cause problems like this.

i moved the new imported tracks to the other pc hit ADD and boom most of the book is the same and some of it is all messed up...

I have 64 duplicate book ID... HOW DO I fix this issue.. i tried to read but every time I have fixed something in the past.. I make it worse!

Gotrich I need some information about imports. Did you have the entire disk Music Maestro MM6409 and Music Maestro Standards Club 2 disk 5 imported? If so what BookIDs are they supposed to be?
This is just the first group but it looks like there are a lot more where two disks files are interlinked.
I don't know whether you have gone through and eliminated some of the files from some of the CDs either because they were duplicates or offensive, but your songs database shows a lot of missing songs too.
I have reorganized your log file and will send you a copy in PDF format so you can open and print it. It is sorted by BookID.
The files listed as duplicates are not in the songs database. If you enter the BookID for the ones in the list it will show a totally different song title.

I delete songs if i had a sound choice of chartbuster or whatever.. based on customer preference.

This is this big of a mess. I never had this problem till 4.0 hoster. WHY?

Would I be better re importing all 700+ CD's
