Status = 3 or 2

[stublack]

I was playing around with adding mp3 audio songs. I added one CD that I had loaded to a folder. When I deleted them in Tools Edit I inadvertently did not get rid of all of them.

I since deleted the folder.

When I tried to delete those 4 songs on Tools Edit I could not delete
Status = 3. It also said the folder path did not exist.

I recreated the folder and added the songs back into that folder and then
tried to delete them and got a Status = 2 with no explanation.

I looked in the manual and did not find a solution, any ideas.

Thanks Stu

rebuild your songs database making sure that the offending folder is not listed in the rebuild list.

I thought you were trying to delete the audio files, Sorry. Not quit sure what it is you are trying to do.

Did you have more than just the one folder of Audio songs imported?
I am a bit confused.
Rebuild only reconstructs the database from whatever folders you have listed in the utility that have KMA or KMH files in it. If you have other Audio you have imported with this version then those folders where you imported from have to be listed there in order to for the utility to add the KMH files in them to the database. The KMH files are not placed in your KMA folder, but stay with the original Audio files.

I need to bone up on this a little more to understand

My question here Dale (as I haven't done a lot of new zips yet in my show machine) is when I place my new zips in my original KMA folder with all the old kma's there; and then import those newly added zips, will I have to rebuild the database again, or will the database already be taken care of, as before in the old way (importing zips to kma did NOT require a rebuild).

No rebuild necessary as long as you don't move the Zip file.

Then can I just simply import the zip files (creating its correspondent kmh file) on the flash drive they exist originally, then copy both sets from there to kma folder w/o rebuilding?

If you move - rebuild.

If you rebuild it, they will sing.

I am getting the message: Unable to delete file wxyz.zip.kmh status = 2. I am trying to delete some kmh files. I was deleting 2 full discs. One went smoothly the other gave the error message.

I did a search for status = 2 because of the error and am reviving this thread from March 2010.

Thanks for any input.

[ddouglass]

Check the folder where that disks files are located to see if the kmh files along with the zip files are there. Sounds like the kmh files are not there or the zip files are not. If no KMH files are there and the zip files are, then you should be able to rebuild the database and fix this (disc's songs will no longer be in the Hoster list.)

Rebuilding the database did work. Thanks.
