Wild Card (*) Missing with update

[Wrahn]

Thanks for the reply, however the wild card was a great way to stroll though the listing of songs and putting them on the play list to demo the songs quickly, including changing the key. I'm not a professional and I know most folks using thus program are, but the * was sure a great feature for me. Did I tell you I was a lousy speller?

I quite liked it myself, I could select Duet then * and just show all my duets.

So, how can we now find all the duets when we want to look at them, or all the songs that have multiplex or a specific genre? The wild card was a great tool for me; I'm just wild about *.

Genre no problem, You just highlight genre and enter the genre in the search box. Like if I enter 60's It lists all mine that are filed under 60's.
But with the duet and multiplex you can now only enter an artist name or song title then find if you have that in duet or multiplex.

I think there will be a problem even with genre, because you might not remember which genre is which and a specific song may have different genres listed. What is 60's to you might be listed as something else in the data base.

I tried to download an older version to get my * back, but I had no success.

Do you mean you could not download an old version or that the older version wont work ?

What version are you talking about ?

I know I'm being a pain, but the * was such a great feature. As an example, I'm having a Valentine Karaoke Party and I'm picking songs that will reflect the theme. If I had the * as it used to be I could create a playlist by sorting through the different songs and playing them and then keeping of rejecting them. I can sort by title, artist, and by genre. I could also sort by duet and multiplex in case someone wanted to try out the song. Once I put them on the playlist, I could listen to the song, change the key and if multiplex, I could learn the song. It was quick and straight forward. I could then cull from the playlists and I would be ready to have fun with the using Hoster.

Of course I'm not a professional, so I don't understand what the "problem" was with the use of the * and the singer's list. I use Hoster for home use and don't have 10,000 songs or lots of singer lists. I just know Hoster worked great as it was.

Roy, thanks for your input, I've decided to keep the current version and try to operate without the *, and hope the * function will return to Hoster.
