This was a fresh install from scratch on a brand new computer that had never had hoster installed. I did go through all the processes of changing windows prior to installing hoster. The version that was on my old computer was 5.8 and prior to that was 4.30. I did not have any version of Hoster on the drive that I transfered over from the old computer to the new one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brett,

I notice you have a 1TB drive in your new computer and a 1TB slave drive. I assume the slave drive was used with your old computer and songs on this drive were indexed and in the version of Hoster you were running. If this is correct, I am guessing that the songs that you were able to index into your new setup were the KMA files. The songs you had that are MP3G and Bin files may have been indexed in you old computer as KMH files. If so, you must go to the folder or folders that these songs are located and see if you have a "importedfiles.txt". If so this is why they won't import into your new system because Hoster thinks they are already there. You may also have a KMH file associated with each of these songs. Check and see if this is the case and post back and we will take it from there. You can locate your song folders on the slave drive through Windows Explorer. It is important that you don't do anything with these files until you are sure they are the missing songs.

As far as your issue of "Hoster not responding", I notice this happens more frequently with a very large data base which you seem to have. Adding to this problem may be the fact that you have so many songs that Hoster can't recognize and if the situation is as I described above it may be bogging down Hoster. MTU would have to jump in on this since I am not a coder. Good luck and get back to us after you check the above.
