If you absolutely do not want to use WINRAR to Convert the ZIPs so that Hoster will Import them, then, you could use Toolz to CONVERT ZIP ---> BIN and Import as HDBIN (Hard Drive BIN Trk).

It takes a little longer, but you will be able to Import with no problem.

To use Toolz, copy all the ZIPs that you want to Import into an empty WORK Folder. Open Toolz, Click on Zip to BIN. Navigate to the WORK Folder where you copied your ZIPs. Toolz does its thing. Upon Toolz completing the conversion to BIN, delete all the CDG and MP3 files (Toolz unzips the 2 ZIP files so that it can CONVERT to BIN) that are now in your WORK Folder.

Open Hoster.
Click IMPORT TRACKS
Click IMPORT HARD DRIVE FILES
Click CDG
Navigate to the WORK Folder
Click the 1st Trk Listed
Click ADD TRACKS
All Tracks for each Disc will add to the Import List if Hoster can identify the BRAND and DISCID. If not, set them to the correct info.
Click NEXT to set a BOOKID ROOT
Click IMPORT FILES

If you are using Toolz 4.xxx, with DEFAULT Compression, the Trks will work with Hoster. The problem with Toolz 4.xxx is that it is a PAIN to use.

If you use Toolz 3.xxx, it is MUCH easier to use, but you will, still, need to convert the ZIPS with WINRAR for Hoster to properly Import the ZIPs.

So, you have two choices. Either use Toolz 4.xxx and Import into Hoster with no problems or use Toolz 3.xxx and convert the ZIPs to BIN and Import via HDBIN.

I use the 2nd choice. And, I have WINRAR and convert my ZIPs for Storage. If I need to Re-Import, I pull the ZIP from storage, unzip with WINZIP (8.1 or Better)...I do not use Toolz to unzip as WINZIP is faster and more convenient...and I use Toolz to CONVERT to BIN and Re-Import.
