When I restarted Hoster, I found that only the kma files were saved. All of the songs that where imported from customers disks were deleted. This is the first time that I have ever seen Hoster autosave not work sorrectly.
I had to reimport all the customers cd's.

This happened twice during the showl.

Running XP w/sp3. (gave up on vista).

The fact your singer could finish says it was not a "true" crash... not to denigrate the negative impact on your show.

If Hoster has a hard crash as in it completely stops working then those files would be there. If you import a song and then close Hoster normally it will not be available when you re-open it. That is the way it has always been to ensure that we do not have files on our computer that do not belong to us.

I agree.

I too am concerned.

Please upgrade to 4.02. We fixed a lot of problems, and one of them may have been involved in your problem.
