Zip files

Or would I need to point at the files one at a time in the single "ZIP" folder? It would seem that Hoster could recognize if a file already had the associated kmh file, don't make it available for re-import?

When you import from the hard drive there is a Hide Imported checkbox, so yes Hoster does not list those that are already imported.
You do not have to create a separate folder for them (unless you are referring to the ZIP folder as Microsoft shows them).
So if they are already MP3+G then why ZIP them? You can import them as MP3+G and it works the same way creating the KMH file to go with them. That way you Mac program can use them too without having to unzip them. And zipping an MP3+G does not save much more space than is already saved by the MP3 compression.
