Lost All Playlists

[mckyj57]

I have been using Hoster as a practice setup for over two years now. I have built a Playlist of about 200 songs that I practice at least occasionally, along with a couple of dozen other lists.

I have Hoster 3.318 on Windows XP.

Without changing anything else on the system, I re-imported a disk to rip at 192 from Hosters importer (versus other ripper --> 128M MP3+G --> Import to KMA).

When I did that, and tried to play the re-imported song from the existing instance I had ripped from, I got an error.

I exited Hoster to start over, hoping it would play the newly-imported file when I started it again. When I restarted, *all* my playlists were gone. Every one of them, about a dozen. No other files appear to be gone.

I searched the entire hard disk for *.hst files -- not a one. Where have they gone?

I would like to get my lists back. I have older backups that I can try and rebuild from, but it will be a pain. I don't use Hoster for gigs any more, so it's not like I lost my singer history or something. But I would like to get my lists back.
