Unhappy Batch MP3 ZIP Problem, Any Suggestions?

OK So I have finally fiqured out how to successfully import my MP3 ZIpped files using Batch mode, and it works just fine, I get how you have to go to the folder where your files are , Open it until you see your individual song files and you should have no problem, However, I have 250 gigs worth of MP3 ZIPPED files and they are all brokendown in folders, first folder are Brand names example: Pocket Songs, Sunfly etc. Then by disc no. example PS1028, So here's my problem, It seems like it will take me a considerable length of time to steer hoster to every single folder to find each song, I was hoping the "batch mode" in 3110 would be able to seach and find any MP3 ZIPPED after I set the parameters of the files example: disc #-Trk#-Artist-Song title,
Although it as long as you get to each individual floder disc , the import process is lighting fast compared to importing with a cd+g disc. So does anyone out there have any suggestions around this? You can imagine having that many songs and only importing them 15 at a time is a bit much. I can drag and drop copy everythiing to one general folder but that would take almost as long. Help!

when you get to the import screen, select zip, not mp3+g.

Cool

I should have been more specific, I have tried only the ZIP, That's where I'm having the trouble, Is there a dos or windows command that will get rid of all the folders and dump all of their content in one central location, This looks like this would work as long as anyone disc id doesn't go over 99. or maybe I'm going about this wrong, Maybe Hoster does this already and I just haven't found it in the manual yet.

just drag and drop them (zipped songs) into one folder then import them. it imports really fast not like a cd-g !!

nightmare with mp3+g zip's

I have an easy fix for ya. click start and then search...all folders and files..browse to your mp3+g zip drive...click advace options and select search for zip compressed files..highlight it. now browse to the folder you want, lets say your sunfly folder..click it. click start. it will collect every single zip file in that folder. now, select all copy and paste to a folder on your desktop. batch it and run it. now be careful because I have batch and run as many as 3000 zips at one time. Hoster will and does skip disc when batch a large amount..trust me. so to keep track of that keep the folder to all your kma songs open and minimized. when you save your new batch kma song there they will automaticly goe to the end of the list...highlight the first sunfly song and the last sunfly song click properties and it will tell you how many songs there are. compare that to how many songs there was to begin with..now you know if hoster skipped any. sounds tough but very easy once you get started.

Unhappy Hey Thanks That helps but I have run in to an error

I selected a folder and did what you said, but during the batch load of 491 files 2minutes into it , I got this error "Hoster Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenice" Now what? If I restart hoster and try again will it happen again? it seems to have imported a few already, will it know what imported already? I'm gonna try to reinstall hoster then run this same batch again, Other wise I don't think I can run an unattended batch if this is going to start to happen, imagine one with 3000 files!
