Hoster 5.09 Has been released May 28, 2013

[Wrahn]

I have downloaded the upgrade to my two laptop computers both running Win7. One computer was successful and the other one erased my karaoke files.

The computer that worked uses a portable hard drive to store my karaoke files and the other computer uses the C: drive. When I open the program on the one with the missing karaoke files, my playlists comes up, but all the songs have as a STATUS "unavailable". I opened the edit function and can access the listings of songs, but they don't play and the program indicates they are missing or have been renamed.

So, where have all the karaoke songs gone, and how do I get them back?

Thanks for any help,
Wes

Go to TOOLS... Hoster Data File...Computer... C:Drive... Program Data... MTU.com...Hoster... Songs (mdb)

This will get you to the database of your songs... rebuild database from the TOOLS... Songs Database ***

Make sure the New Database Location is indicated in the "Stored In" area of the Window...

Roy,

Thanks again for your help. I believe it is almost back to where it was.

If that's what all the upgrades are going to do to my system, I'm going to be in trouble. What a royal pain in the ***.

Tnscottie,
As to your question about this.

The "Replace underscore characters....." option under Import Songs > Build Database > Define Field Order does not stay checked after closing the window. Is this working as intentionally designed?

Yes, this is how it should work, as you may import some songs that have this, and some that do not have it. So you manually would need to turn this on when you need it.

Wrahn,
This should be the ONLY update that would do this, and it will only do that if you had all your songs stored within the C:\MTU\Hoster folder. If you had them in the C:\MTU\Kma Files, which was the original default, you would not have had this issue.
