Cannot Search Anything - Needed to Build Songs Database on New Computer

[Roy Dennis]

If you want a file that is already in the playlist to skip, just highlight it then press the skip button next to the delete button. Each press of the skip button alters it's status.
When you say songs a marked unavailable, is that because you have loaded a previouse playlist from your old computer ?

[TONYBERNARD]

Yes, the playlist is from the bkup. Can this not be done? Or how do I fix it?

[Roy Dennis]

This may not be fixable. As I said in previous post, unless all files and folders follow the same paths and drive volume letters the same as on previouse machine then they wont work. Unless anyone else knows a work around, I don't.
Or it may be that you haven't included all the folders in your rebuild.

[Roy Dennis]

On your previous set up, Did you have all your song files on your computers c/ drive, or were they on an external drive, if so do you know what volume letter was allocated to this previous hard drive ?
This may help us to help you get things back as they were.

[TONYBERNARD]

Sorry Roy, it was on the c drive. But as for a letter? I am sorry what does this mean?

[Roy Dennis]

If you did not have your song files on an external drive before and you have placed them in your C/ drive this time then there should be no problem.
When you plug in an external drive like a usb drive, the computer allocates it a letter depending on what other things are connected at the same time. Like E,F or G in most cases.
So if you had them on an external drive that was assigned F, then on another computer it may assign it E then then Hoster can't find the files.
I'm now of to bed, Good luck with completing set up.

Tony, you're doing great at learning, and as always... Dale & Roy are awesome and accurate.

I don't want to come across as flipant or demeaning, but a lot of this is covered in the Hoster manual that installed with your Hoster 5.02.

If you have problems understanding the manual, or we have omitted any critical facts, PLEASE... post what you are looking for and we'll upgrade the manual for it to be there in 5.03.
