Brand Name On Bin Hard Drive Import

[stublack]

I'm stating the first paragraph of this thread to answer the inevitable Why?

When I ran CD+G's years ago I created CD's from my purchased CD+G's that had a variety of different brands on it, mainly because early on I didn't want to have duplicates between brands in my collection (I made very few exceptions to that rule) and I didn't use my purchase CD's to preserve them. When I loaded the songs to Hoster years ago I kept the same practice (DiscID for me does not have a unique Brand Name). I basically made my BookID the same as the DiscID which made it easier to keep track of and I could put 100 songs on one DiscID/BookID. Now I'm in the process of adding all these duplicate songs that I've had for years into Hoster.

When I import a bin file from my hard drive Hoster will not allow me to change the brand name. For example if I'm adding Chartbuster bin records when I try to change the Brand it states DicsID V6006 is already "Music Maestro" and will not allow me to change it.

I have been going into edit after importing and changing the brand name there, that's fairly time consuming so I'm wondering if there is any way I can do this without the extra tedious step.

This may be a new development request, but I'm done getting shot down there.

Thanks for any help

The only way I can see to do this is when selecting the define field order set the Disc Id And Track fields to Ignore then it will allow you to set the Brand, then manually fill in a disc id or let it choose one itself.

If I'm missunderstanding your question come back I'll try again.

I've been doing that same very thing for years, sorta got use to it, but would be nice if there was an easier way?
