It would not let me change the disc ID to say THM2005a it would just switch back to THM2005, however they all imported and I had 444 kma's in my hoster songs folder. Actually, only 442 because two would not import. I then load hoster and they are all there, and remain there unless I use the rebuild database option. When I do this, and then I do a search using hoster or go to the dropdowns, they say there is only 00 to 99. When I look in the hoster song folder, all of the kma's are still there. if I try and play one from the songs file it plays fine. I don't understand how if my path is correct and it points to the hoster songs file that has 442 files in it when I check it, yet the dropdown and search only produce 99 files. I don't think that I can make it any clearer than that. Thanks for your help

I don't understand why all 444 songs are there untill the database is rebuilt since theoreticly the second set of 99 songs would overwrite the first set...etc. So that when you were done all that would be left is the last set of 99 songs you imported.
