I have a few .zip files (each contain .mp3 & .cdg file) albums. Does Hoster import these .zip files? How does it detect which CD+G manufacturer to assign the DiskID? Or, how is this done manually?

Yes it does import zip files, look in the manual under import hard drive files.

Please address each of the following 3 questions:

1. When importing, how do you assign the DiskID to each zip file in the folder? Do I manually assign the DiskID or does Hoster automatically detect this?

2. When importing, are the two files in the .zip extracted, then renamed to the Hoster file extenstion? Or, is the .mp3 and .cdg extentions remain the same?

3. Does Hoster ID3 tag the .mp3 files?

Thanks,
Steve

If the disc id is in the file name it will assign it for you but you have to set up the define feild order correct. If the disc Id is not in the file name then you have to enter it yourself.

They remain the same.

Hoster writes a small header file to the same directory as the origanal zip with a .kmh extension.

Best to just try it, if you do it wrong delete the .kmh file and try again.

Steve,
The originial zip files stays exactly the same as it is. Hoster creates a 3rd file outside the zip that will have the same exact name as the other two with just the Header information needed by Hoster.
Hoster does not create the ID3 tag for mp3 files.
