Crashing on multisession import

[Picolo Porco]

That's what I've been doing.... Seems strange that the whole app crashes, though, instead of handling the error properly. I get the same crash when I have a damaged disk and Hoster eventually gives up on trying to read the track.

I guess this could be a "feature" request for the import module to handle errors without completely choking.

Hello Picolo Porco,

If you have Microstudio you can import the for instance the 18 music tracks of a 19 track multi session disk to your hard drive and then import the 18 music tracks into Hoster. Track "18" will still contain the add silent minutes that where added to the song but at least you'll have all 18 tracks that you paid for!

Since yours is the only post I've seen where Hoster crashes predictably at this point I would suspect a hardware/configuration/driver issue. When lots of computers have an issue you can usually find something in common to figure out whats wrong, but when it's only one computer there's a bazzillion different variables that make it much more difficult.

I agree with Sam as to it being a Hardware/Configuration problem. I have not had any other clients reporting this type of problem to me. Please make sure that you have all of the Windows updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

This is the only thing that I can think of. Also you might try making sure that you have the latest version of Firmware from www.plextor.com for your CDR drive.

I did manage to finally figure out a successful means of getting the last track on multi-session CD's imported. First I would import all but the last track of each disc I am importing using hoster. Then I used Disc Juggler to create a disc Image of just the last track of each of the discs I was importing. Then I burned a new CD with the image I created. I then imported them into Hoster with no problem and everything looks great. The process is a little painful but until 3.2 comes out it is a means of getting around the problem.

Upnext,
Microstudio has a workaround for multisession that works too, use Multisession as the search criteria and you'll see.

I've tried the workaround using Microstudio and the results are not good. Granted you do get the file imported but the quality of the graphics are poor.
