Chartbuster Importing Zip Files

For the CB Essential450 you should be using:

Cbe1-11-01 - Shelton, Ricky Van - Statue Of A Fool.zip,
Which means:
Cbe1 = Chartbusters Essential 450 Pack ONE
11 = Disc Number ELEVEN of the CBE Pack ONE

NOT

Cbe11-01 - Shelton, Ricky Van - Statue Of A Fool

BECAUSE

Hoster needs to know the difference between Essential 450 Packs 1 through 5.

CBE1 means CB Essential Pack ONE
CBE2 means CB Essential Pack TWO, etc.

The way you have it, it appears that there is an Essential Pack ELEVEN.

Rename your 450 Zips Prefix to: CBE1-

Then, you will be able to use, in PLAIN English, these parameters when Importing:

Field 1 = DiscID
Field 2 = - (Dash with no Spaces before or after)
Field 3 = &This
Field 4 = - (Dash with no Spaces before or after)
Field 5 = Track
Field 6 = - (SpaceDashSpace)
Field 7 = Artist
Field 8 = - (SpaceDashSpace)
Field 9 = Title
Field10= . (Period)

FYI:
The &This means that there is more to the DiscID than just CBE1.

Remember, the DiscID is EVERYTHING up until, but not including, the DASH that separates the TRACK NUMBER.

It just so happens that, with the Chartbusters Essential 450 Packs and the Essential Plus Packs, a Compound DiscID is used, which is, a BRAND, CBE1, and a Disc Number, in your case 11, separated by a DASH.

So, because there is a DASH that separates the BRAND from the ACTUAL DISC Number, you must use the &This to force Hoster to ADD whatever is after the FIRST DASH to Whatever is BEFORE the FIRST DASH in order to get a COMPLETE DiscID that is meaningful to Hoster.

Basically, when using the &This on your example of CBE1 Disc 11, Hoster sees the DiscID as:
CBE1+11 sort of appending the 11 to the Prefix CBE1.

I hope that this helps to explain what is wrong, why your file prefixes need to be renamed, how to set the correct parameters for a successful Import, and some theory on what is happening behind the scenes.
