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

or if you had imported all 15 tracks from cdg, it may have worked.

I don't believe it will let you mix them.

a suggestion maybe would be to burn a cd-rw with 14 dummy tracks (anysongs), and burn the 15th track, with the one from the harddrive. Only import that 1 track to that diskid. it should work.

you caould save this disk, and anytime you have a bad track 15 , erase the 15th track, and reuse the disk.

I mix 'em all the time when I'm trying to conserve rootid#s. I think the dash in the diskid is the culprit.
Based on what I remember about a post from songpony was Hoster will let you use a dash in the diskid when importing from cdg, but it will not let you use one importing from HD.
I don't recall if songpony found a solution.

Yes, Beavis, Do you have any suggestions? without having to burn a whole new disk each time. As I tried the cd-rw and that didn't burn very well at all. kept saying disc is not empty , when in fact it was?

How exactly do you mix them all up (imports from HD and imports of cdg tracks) with the same bookroot ID. Mine gets all the way to the import checked disc, THEN and only THEN is the problem. It lets you assign the root ID that matches the current diskID, the checks to see if its already in use, then doesn't allow a second use from the other type of import.

Mind, can you please tell me how you did in fact do this.

Just title the file with the diskid that is assigned to that rootid. As soon as you click add files the rootid should pop up on it's own. If you have to enter it then Hoster thinks the diskid's are different for some reason. Sometimes that reason is obvious only once you figure it out.

Essentially I do the same as Nreels post#5 except I use manuf diskids such as PHMR0502 instead of the bookids as diskids as well, but it should all work the same.

MindonStrike;
I believe that is exactly what I have done.
... and the disk ID is picked up as the current
one I am trying to add new songs to... BUT the
root ID still asks me for input(instead of putting in the originally assigned root ID from the disc import).

What can I possibly be doing wrong? Are you absolutely sure that you use "same root IDs between HD and disc imports

I thought I was really getting quite good at this program to this point, but this one is still reaaaaly buggin' me..

Not sure what else to suggest except do a database search or edit song search for those book ids and make sure the diskid and brand come up as you are expecting.
Not recomended but worse comes to worse you can always force it to work.
