hoster crash when importing tracks - caused by bad zip files

[Mellyl17]

Lately my hoster has been crashing when trying to import tracks. I know the cds are fine because I've barely used them. I had all my discs loaded at one point, but because some things got out of wack I deleted everything and decided to re-import my cds. I've been able to load some cds but the majority of them are giving me a problem.
When I click on Import CD tracks-Add tracks Online Database I get the message "The online database look up did not return any data for this disc...." When I try to enter the Brand and DiscID manually I get an error message and the program shuts down. I never had this problem before. Perhaps its because I'm running an ooollllddd version (3.321...haven't used this in a while).
I know I will need an upgrade, but any suggestions on what I can do with this problem at the moment?
Thanks!

Which version of Windows are you running, XP, Vista or Windows 7, 32bt or 64bt ?

If you are trying to run this version on a new windows 7 laptop then it probably won't work correct.

Are the CD's, manufacturers original disc's ?

Have you tried not using the "Search On line Database" but the "search local database" instead ?
Entering the manufactures first then the original disc id, if it can't find any match it should list spaces for the tracks but leave you to fill the names in.

Check that the CD/DVD drive tests good and the write one is selected for reading.

I am having the same problem with Hoster Crashing. I use Windows 7 32 bit and hoster 4.3. I reinstalled the Hoster, defraged, checked all the settings as support suggest and I have 4 gig ram and hard drive has 120 gig of a 200 gig drive free. i am importing hard drive files that are zip to kmh. So far I have imported 244,000 without a problem now the import stops as it gets part of some files. I tried importing a smaller batch and It didn't get fooled, it still crashed.

I don't know anyone else with 244,000 files so you may have found a problem that only occurs after such a large #

Are these zip files karaoke zips ?
In other words does each zip contain 2 files an mp3 and a cdg ?

What is the last book id assigned to your file, you should be able to find this from main dialogs drop down box from the book id tab ?

Have these files imported previously or are they new additions ?

[nfountai]

They are zipped

The last book ID # is 650254 on this computer

I have this Hoster version on another differnt laptops and this is the one that is giving me the problem.

These a new additions

Back in your first post you state you have 120 gig of a 200 gig drive free.

So I can only assume these zips are on a different external hard drive as I can't see how you would get that many on the drive and only use 120 gig.

So how much free space is left on the external drive ?

could you attach one of the failing zips to your post so we can see if there is a problem with the zip.
