How can I replace a track already imported as a KMA file?

But have you heard of any past import problems with chartbuster on this post or elsewhere?

From our testing, ChartBuster is the pits. Their multisession format and track 15 was THE WORST for us to be able to import. Their ERROR rate (snowflakes) are incredibly bad. They have 2-byte and 3-byte errors all over the place. Our current Reed-Solomon error detection/correction software doesn't fix 2- or 3-byte errors. Thus, CB tracks will be the worst that you import.

About your problem importing a song over an already imported song, have you read the manual? We spent a lot of time allowing this to be done.

Click the Help menu, then the Read Manual command. When the manual appears in your Browser, paste the following into the Address line and execute it:

file:///C:/Program%20Files/Micro%20Technology%20Unlimited/Hoster/Manual/hoster-import-cd.htm#ReImport

This should take you to the ReImport topic where this is explained in detail. Our users have been doing an excellent job of trying to help you, but I think the manual is what you now need to read and understand.

Thank you very much Moderator for your info.
I think part of my problem is clearly stating my problem.

Yes, I read or at least I thought I have read the manual quite thoroughly. My unique problem only seems to be able to reimport a file (because the one on the disc was unnacceptable) from the HD that is added to an existing DiscID/Book ID that was previously imported from a disc and assigned a book ID. The import from the HD keeps telling me that the Book ID is already in use and to choose another one.
But I need to keep the same book ID and to append that reimported song to the same root book ID as the disc. In other words, make it like all songs from the disc would have all imported correctly.

Is this possible? I will read and reread the manual again,
however. If I cannot find an answer may I make a re-request to you or call for clarification?

Also, Administrator, if you could help me?

Earlier, another post suggested I copy the CB discs then import them from the copied disc and the errors would not show up.
Does this makes sense, I hope so!

That is the way I do if I am having proplems with the "snow flakes". I have a Plextor 716a and I use Micro-Studio software. Then with the copy I import it into Hoster. Most of the time if you have a disc with "snow flakes" Mtu's Micro-studio and a Plextor will make a copy better. Seems like on CB if you have "snow flakes" they seem to get worse as the disc plays. I don't think CB refreshes the screen each time it changes. On SC disc's they seem to refresh their screen each time. So they don't keep getting worse all the time.
Then you may get a bad spot and they are just there for that screen only.
