With hoster 3.120 how do you use kma files from a different drive, external hard drive

[gpayne]

1. Open Hoster
2. Click On Tools
3. Click On Build Songs Database
4. Click on Select Folder
5. Search for the folder where your kma files are located( Your External Drive )
6. Select that folder
7. Click on Build Songs Database

This should build a new songs database using the files in the folder you selected on your external hard drive.

Thanks for the info. This won't bring thesongs into my internal hard drive will it

No, it won't, but you will need to make sure that that hard drive is lettered the same as it was when you first
"databased" it.

Or you might be at a show some day and panic
"where did all my songs go!"

The order you plug in USB devices determines what LETTER Windows assigns to them. With Windows running, iIf you unplug your ext. hard drive, then plug it back in, it will have a new letter assigned, and Hoster's Songs Database will NOT find the files it has indexed. Don't plug-unplug your USB external drive.

That is only true if you plug them in after windows has completed it's start up. If they are already plugged in before run up completes....its a crap shoot. Microsoft....gotta love em!
