![]() Well,
The problem I have with it, is I have also put the diskid on the actual disk and filed them by that in my disk cases. If we co to a sequential system, I would have as many as 10 disks with the same diskid. That is where I am seeing a probem. Just as a thought, Could we possibly keep the "diskid" "next" system in in place for the people that use cdg's to import, and on the cdg conversions, number sequential with a letter in front of the sequential number. The reason I mention this, is because as we are adding vcd's into the book, it would be nice to be able to differenciate between a regular karaoke song, and the vcd version of even the dvd version when that comes along. for instance all vcd numbers would be v10...... , and all dvd disks would be d10...., and make all mp2+g's M10..... I am not shure if this could be done, but it seems like it could ne doable.

Re: Hoster 3.2 - Song Book and BookID renumbering
I'm not sure if I am understanding how the proposed new numbering system works, so I'll state what I think it is saying and my response to it. If I am wrong in my understanding, hopefully Admin, you can correct me.
Currently the system gives each DiscID a specific number (BookID Root) and then appends the song track to this BookID Root, giving us 62901....62915, etc. My understanding of the proposed system is that each disc would not be given a specific number, but each song you import will be given a specific number, say starting at 1...2...3..., etc. No separate BookID number for each disc imported, but a SongID number for each song imported. If I am understanding correctly, this would be a nightmare to keep your individual discs organized and know (if you have a problem with an import sometime in the future) what disc it was imported from. Currently I number each of my discs I import by the BookID Root. Also, if I have a disc that has a bad track that I don't want to import until I either resurface this disc or purchase a new one, I will go ahead and import the "good" songs and wait to import the "bad" songs later. With this new system, the track(s) from the same disc, when imported later will have a totally different number than the tracks I imported earlier. That will be a problem (at least for me). If my understanding is correct with this new numbering system, I will probably not upgrade any longer since the current numbering system works perfectly for my situation. I don't have or use MP3G or ZIP files and never plan on using them, so this new numbering system would be of no use to me, only a problem. Possibly you could offer the new numbering system on a version of Hoster that is geared toward MP3G and Zip file systems and then have the version for those of us who only use CDG's in our system and leave that numbering system as it is. I would hate the fact that I couldn't upgrade to newer versions that have better features because it would totally screw up my current numbering system and cause me nothing but headaches and time in trying to figure out which songs belong with which discs. |

Re: Hoster 3.2 - Song Book and BookID renumbering
That brings up another problem I am seeing. I use my disc as back up to hoster. I would have no idea what disc to use in a back up matter. I guess could renumber my discs.

Re: Hoster 3.2 - Song Book and BookID renumbering
I quess I'm old scholl, and would rather spend money on new discs than new songbooks. Since I have just changed my book format and reprinted 15 new books (12,000 + songs), I refuse to go to a new numbering system. I know that everything is going to mp3/mp3+g, but I have no intention to go to mp3+G or zips with what I already have on cdg. I to have all discs set up in a numbered system as far as back-ups, and this would simply make that useless, would have no idea what was where. As much as I like Hoster, I would go to another hosting program first! It seems that when we all beared with MTU thru the different versions and their problems to get to this point, then to have to completely change numbering it's not in my program!
