is there a "Hoster for Dummies?

To select a file, click it (background turns blue). To select contiguous files (1, 2, 3, 4, 5...), press Shift and click the first file, move the mouse and click the last file, then click Open. To select random files (8, 11, 15, 20...), press Ctrl and click each file to add to the Playlist. Files are placed in the Playlist in the order they are in the File Window.

You are absolutely correct. The manual does indead say that. Unfortunately the manual is incorrect on this point. I know Admin spends a lot of time updating the manual for every upgrade and often times for every beta, multiply that times five products and you can bet something will slip through the cracks. This is one of those things
I'll post something in the beta forum so this can be corrected.

Well Sam it appears we are Both Correct! With my just becoming interested in Karoke, I failed to realize that you folks add songs to your playlist one at a time for your respective singers, which is also what I would do during a Karaoke presentation. However, going one step further....I have about 30 or so playlists each one about 90 minutes in length, and these are just mp3 files, no karaoke. Each of these in the hoster program could be set with certain intervals between songs, to allow for "working the audience" So I thought wow I can set up shows for the nursing homes and just click it to start and let it run! But alas ! It don't follow the complete convention of the windows application. One at a time LOL so Hopefully the powers that be will put in the full windows convention

Thank you and everyone else for all the input
I now return you to your allocated place in the rotation
Warmest regards

You can make up playlists and save them. Just set Hoster to keep songs after they are played and your playlist will never change - Unless of course you add or subtract something.

You can adjust the interval between songs but not on an individual song basis, the interval would effect all songs untill you changed it.

But alas ! It don't follow the complete convention of the windows application. One at a time LOL so Hopefully the powers that be will put in the full windows convention

You can post something in the new feature requst forum, requesting this, MTU generally pays attention to these if there's enough interest from other forum members.

If you only want to play MP3 files you can just load them into a playlist on Windows media player.
I set one up before going to bed and its still playing in the morning.
