Re: ZIP file conversion problem
I even erased the songs from the database to start over, but now I'm not getting the name of the brand in the converting window, it is giving me though the discID. When I type in the brand and go to convert my zip the program tells me to enter a discID when it is already there and is correct.

Re: ZIP file conversion problem
I can reproduce this problem. This only occurs to be once I have imported 12 full 16 track Discs, that are made up of .zip files. It will be fixed, but it will be at least a week or so before the engineer is free to look at the problem.
This was using the DiscID-Track # Selection. I imported the following tracks from these discs: AH2000 16 Tracks AH2001 16 Tracks AH2002 17 Tracks AH2003 16 Tracks AH2004 16 Tracks AH2005 16 Tracks AH2006 16 Tracks AH2007 16 Tracks AH2008 16 Tracks AH2009 16 Tracks AH2010 16 Tracks AH2011 16 Tracks AH2012 16 Track 3 Gave me Bad Zip File Error Message. NOTE: I can't add this AH2012 Track 3 to the Playlist either, using the MP3G button. It gives me "Bad Zip File" also. Once I got this error every other file that I tried to Import gave me the Ready Status and then cleared. I could not import any more .zip files. I then Closed Hoster and then reopened it. It then would allow me to Import .zip files again. I now started again to get the following: AH2013 16 Tracks AH2015 Track 13 gave me Bad Zip File error. NOTE: I can't add this AH2015 Track 13 to the Playlist either, using the MP3G button. It gives me "Bad Zip File" also. This is the filename for the AH2015 Track 13: ah2015-13_-_somethin'_stupid_-_sinatra,_frank.zip Closed Hoster again. I now start to import again and get the following: AH8011 Track 1 gives me This is not a valid MP3G zip file! A file is missing. I opened the .zip file and the .mp3 file and .cdg file are located within the .zip file, with identical names. This file on my HD is named: ah8011-01_these_eyes_the_guess_who.zip. The two files that are in this .zip file are AH801101.mp3 and Ah801101.cdg, noitice the difference in the H in Ah. This is a problem. The files MUST have the Identical names. So there are issues you guys have found with the .zip import. We will be working on it, but it will be next week before we can get to it.

I had the same problem and found out it was after I had loaded 10 or 12 sound choice spotlight disc. If I ran into a bad zip file I will then close Hoster and go back to that disc and select all and unselect the track it said was bad and it will import the rest of the songs fine. Once you show a bad zip file you have to close out Hoster and restart it again to get it to import. Other than that I think everything works great. Importing a disc of 15 songs in about 8 to 10 sec. is pretty darn quick. Keep up the good work MTU ![]()

Re: BUG in 3.108- Using ZIP file conversion
It may not be related but I have noticed that Hoster does not close files that it has opened. If you play a song and then try and move/delete it from the system you can not until you close Hoster. You may want to look at Hoster Closing the Zip Files before moving on and opening the next file.
Just a thought. |

Re: BUG in 3.108- Using ZIP file conversion
Bryan,
If it is not closing the files like mhollyts was just stating. Then that is the problem. I believe if you check there is a limit to the number of open files there can be opened at one time and 12 disks x 16 songs is 192 files plus programs that are open at pnce coming close to 256 files limit. I may be wrong, but it sounds right.

Re: BUG in 3.108- Using ZIP file conversion
Here is the Fix to the Bad Zip File error message.
Remove any commas from the Filenames. This includes in the song names in the .mp3 and .cdg files within the .zip file. If you only remove the ,'s from the .zip file it will still give you the error message. Such as: ah2012-03_-_grant,_eddy_-_electric_avenue.zip Rename the file to: ah2012-03_-_grant_eddy_-_electric_avenue.zip it will now play. ah2015-13_-_somethin'_stupid_-_sinatra,_frank.zip Rename the file to: ah2015-13_-_somethin'_stupid_-_sinatra_frank.zip it will now play. Here is the Fix to the This is not a valid MP3G zip file! A file is missing. error. This is only the case, if your .zip file has the .cdg and .mp3 files both in the .zip file. Make sure the names are Identical in the .zip file. Such as stated below: Name of .zip File is: ah8011-01_these_eyes_the_guess_who.zip Name of .mp3 file is: AH801101.mp3 Name of .cdg file is: Ah801101.cdg The difference of the lowercase h in the .cdg file made the files different. This is what caused the error stating that the file was missing, because as it sees it, it is. So if you have any of these errors, then make the correct changes to your .zip files or the files within and this will fix the problems.

Re: BUG in 3.108- Using ZIP file conversion
Also make sure you remove all .'s (periods)
Was beating my head against the wall not being able to import a few songs and realized it was the . that was in the name I didn't see (Hank Williams Jr. was one ... T.G. Sheppard the other) Wasn't on the zip files, but on MP3+G's. Was getting the "This file does not have an associated .cdg" error and the .'s I wasn't catching was the cause. Also caused problems with a few ZIP imports. |

![]() If I am correct, we hold open the files to play to insure they don't get moved or damaged WHILE they are in Hoster's Playlist. If not, our error checking would be bypassed and Hoster could crash. This is not a problem while playing a show. |
