That was the only way I found to be able to enter the BK-ID's from my spread sheet and know what song was tied to it. I could print a list of songs from my spreadsheet by artist, title, etc. Singers could pick out the song they wanted from that sheets and I would enter the
BK-ID's from my spreadsheet in my singer list.

I downloaded Hoster to my laptop today, and I hope to get it so I don't have to work off of my spreadsheet. These are cdg files. I want to get Hoster to convert to the current Hoster type file and when I enter a BK-ID, the song will come up with title, artist, etc. I want to try to get this done tomorrow. My son is going to a company Christmas Party and he wants to use our Karaoke setup, I believe on Saturday night.

If as you say your files were never imported properly into Hoster in your lite version then I know of no easy way to put this right now.
The only way I can think to get this right is start again. Depending on how many files you have this is not a five minute job if you are importing all your cdg disc's again so I don't see you getting this done for this Saturday. Once they are imported properly into Hoster you can automatically print your song books without any need of XL.

You can view my video on importing CDG disc's Part 1 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhgPS...ature=g-crec-u

There are other video tutorials, Part 2 importing Hard Drive files here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjf7fxEK5wk but that won't work right on yours if they were never made correct in the first place so if you have the original CDG disc best to re import them.

If you want, I can check one of your files to see what information it contains so that I could then advise you as to if there were an easier way to re-import your songs.
So if you can attach one of your cdg files to my private email address that you already have I will look at it.
If it won't attach as it is enclose it in a zip folder then it should send OK.
If your not sure how to do that, right click on your desk top, select "New" in the next pop up select "Compressed (zipped) Folder", then copy your file to that, then attach that to your email.
