Problem Importing Customers Discs

[Harryoke]

OK, heres the latest from last nights show. I was not anticipating a lot of customers with their own discs at this show so I figured I would try it...

Hooked up PC, no extra processes running, just Hoster and Winamp. Things wer groovin along pretty good until someone brought up a disc...Pocket Songs.

I got a singer going, and turned off Winamp. I attempted to import the track and got NO response and no hangup. I ejected the disc and tried again. No luck. I put a CD in the CD player (not the PC) and attempted to import without Hoster playing a song...no luck. Ended up playing the disc on my JVC. (sigh).

Now, sometimes I can import and sometimes I cant...so it is not like the CDROM is broken or something like that. Perhaps it is a setting or the way the CDROM is configured with windows or something (an autostart setting or some other reason why Hoster is not talking to it sometimes).

Maybe in August I can hook it up at the house and do some specific things and check some settings while online or on the phone with someone at MTU. Until then, it is not helping me much in the field and causes me more stress than anything.

you should start hoster before any other programs.

Always do. And, Hoster was the only prog running since I closed Winamp.
