I then took the external HD and hooked it up to the backup laptop and rebuilt the database so all new information (files) would be recognized.

Disc 721, 722, and 723 showed all there songs, however, disc 907 STILL had the wrong songnames as the main laptop had before I edited.

My prognosis is that edited info such as title and author names may not be stored in the kma files.

ALL database info is stored in the KMA header.

I did this experiment with my laptop and had no problems but I'm using 3312 so maybe you should try it with yours.

On the computer you originally edited songs in, check to see that those edits are still there, goto rebuild database just to see that it is pointed at the right folders, close Hoster. Go to your database folder and delete the "songs" file in your database folder (I deleted backup and temp as well). Open Hoster and it will automaticly rebuild the database. Now check those edited songs. If they reverted back then there is something wrong with Hoster. If the edits are still there then you must be doing something incorrect when transferring them to your other computer because rebuild gets ALL of it's info from the KMA header.
