Your problem may be the separator you are using. There are several with the dash and you have to get the right one which for Microstudio imports should be " - " (space, dash, space) between title and artist. Since you have to flip those then you also have to choose the separator between them.

Dale, I matched those correctly also. If I match them any other way I get an error report...

Can you try load one of the files into a zip folder and attach it to your post, it may not go through if the size is two big but if it does it may help us to see the problem.

As there has not been a reply to this, are you sorted now?

Well I'm past the numbers I've done in my songs file, and just importing by CD's now. I'll look into it later after I get done importing them all...I only have 682 more CD's to go. Maybe I'll have this ready to go by New Years Eve. The real fun will be naming our 326 audio CD's...OT, I noticed audio CD's arn't recoginizing artists and song titles in the couple I've tested, is there some trick I'm missing.

I have never imported an audio CD into Hoster although the few I tried did return the Artist And Title ok just by pressing the online Database button.

I always rip my CD using Wndows media player but save them as MP3 files, why I prefer this is you can then import them into Hoster as kmh files which leaves them in a format to be played in other software.
If you imported them into Hoster as kma files you would not be able to use them in any other software player.

Food for thought. Thanks Roy.
