CDG's willnot import

[44pirate]

I just bought new computer HP 15-ac121dx it says Drive E: not valid yet in Import CD tracks it says E:\hp DVDRW DUBA6SH DH61 is good.

Just try this first:
Open the Tools/Settings/CD Drives,
As you say it is showing good as status.
In the bottom window where it shows as Read Drive. and probably showing your drive correct select that drop down arrow to the right and reselect it from the dropdown window even though it is the only one showing then press apply and close.
Now try it from the singers disc.
If still not working re start Hoster and try again. See if that helps only re selecting it from that drop down window re sets the registry for that drive.

Thanks for responding. Did what you said no go.

[44pirate]

Did not work

Which version of Hoster are you using ?
If it's an old version there might be conflicts with the newer Windows versions.

Sometimes the drives that come with computers don't always work even though they show as good although most new drives seem OK. The only thing I can suggest is try re installing Hoster. Have you got any usb type cd drives you can try ?
Other than that put in a support ticket.

Interesting thing Roy, I put the disc in I hear spin and all. IL can put in the brand and discid form the import CD tracks, the come up unknown but if I name them and select to upload it does and I can play it in Hoster 5.40.03now what?

[Roy Dennis]

Sorry I don't quite understand. Are you saying you can import it now ?
Is it just that the name didn't come up ?

What about from the singers disc on main dialog, can you play direct from disc ?

No. I can search local data base with the brand and DiscId, they come up with unknown title and artist, I change it to the right names select and then can import them.

Nope

[44pirate]

If I pick singers disc, I see you can pick a track, yes that works. Can I import it from there?

[Roy Dennis]

What happens if in the Import CD dialog you choose a lower speed setting, I have mine set to 6x. try different speeds see if it helps.
It's getting on for 2 in the morning here so I have to sleep. I'll resume in the morning if you want to leave any more info.

[44pirate]

Interesting I can add to import I will try a different speed. It's 845pm here. Thanks go to bed. Tomorrow

No but it will prove that drive can read the disc.
When you press the play from disc does it load it straight to the playlist and if so will it play OK ? if its bad graphics slow the read speed down right hand side, drive speed next to the title window.

[44pirate]

Sorry where do I change the speed

[Roy Dennis]

Theres one in the import Cds dialog as shown in the attachment.

There is also one that appears after you press the singers disc button to the right.

So this is how it's working for me. In import cd tracks I put cd into reader, it says E: not valid, I close that click on search online data the songs show up select all and import.

So does it import ok ?

Yes it does. Just weird I'm use to it grabbing the songs as soon as I load the disc.

[Roy Dennis]

I don't know why it should say "E: not valid" perhaps there's a delay in it recognising the drive when you close it. For as long as I can remember mine has never loaded the songs as soon as I closed the draw. I have always had to press either search local or online database.

Doesn't seem a big deal to me, just ignore that irritating message or put in a support ticket see if they know the answer.

[44pirate]

Yeah it's not that annoying and I did put a ticket in. Thanks for your help Roy.

By the way where you located?

Neverending saw it England. Be safe my friend.

This happened to me when I was trying to help my sister in law import a CDG disk into her program. I found out that in Windows 10 it wants to automatically choose to do something with the disk. I just went into the settings and turned off 'autorun' and it seemed to do the trick with saying the 'E' drive couldn't read the disk etc and then the import options worked. Hope this helps!
