cannot import

[sherita]

when I open hoster and hit import from hard drive, nothing happens. It goes to the bottom of my screen. Also, for some reason it will not transfer the karaoke songs into kma or whatever is needed in order for hoster to import into my songbook. I have gone through my instructions and cannot find anything that states what is wrong. I am downloading songs from mirc. they are zipped files with cdg and text. Am I doing something wrong or did something happen during installation.

have you selected a folder in which i will store all your music ?

[sherita]

When you click on Import from HD is the window for importing opening or is this what is going to the bottom?
The zipped files should contain a CDG file which is the lyrics for the screen and a MP3 file which is the audio. If this isn't the case then the files you are downloading are not standard format for karaoke and won't import.
Also please include in your next post what version of Hoster and what operating system (XP or Vista) you are using. This will make it easier for us to help you.

Downloading from mirc? Are these coming from an individual who is sending them to you? I hope you aren't paying for them because this is not legal.

Just a little pet peeve of mine. Downloading illegal crap is what hurts this business. Here is the answer to her problem. Go out and buy the CDG's and import them!!

Actually I paid 70.00 and it is a sharing network. The Computer Karaoke Guide. Is this illegal????? I am running hoster 3.17. My operating system is windows xp. Yes when I go to import from hard drive the file just drops to the bottom and I cannot open it or nothing..The last thing I want to do is something illegal so I appreciate your imput.

I thought this was a help guide not a comment to down others. Can we keep it civil and help each other. As I stated, if I have done something wrong- I will right that wrong.... It is not intentional, I am new to this and I am learning just as others are doing. It is people like yourselves that we learn from.

The guide itself isn't illegal (freedom of speech and all that), but using the information it contains to steal music from the manufacturers is illegal.

For MTU to provide information on how to make use of your pirated tracks would probably make them a party to piracy.
