The HDD Imported Files Log could not be opened

[ddouglass]

The manual is correct, but the problem is we can't see (visually) exactly what you are doing. Unfortunately written descriptions are a poor substitute at best, so sometimes it takes us longer to understand. It is most likely something simple that is preventing the import and I doubt it is the whole batch.

Dale, ( a note to the file)
I believe i have different disc ID's under the same brand name, and vica-versa.

[blizzardboy]

So what do we do next?

[ddouglass]

That's a good question. I really am not any kind of expert at this part. I have imported a couple custom assembly types from converted SCDG and that is about it. I hope someone else can come up with some ideas.

[blizzardboy]

What about someone from MTU? Do you think they may have an answer?

[blizzardboy]

Well I guess that's where it ends.

Dale you are saying that you can't do custom assembly with more than 99 tracks and that the track number can't be a duplicate one. Well I just did it with 1507 files...

The number 99 is the highest number a BookID Root can have. So, if you imported 1507 files, then each Disc had < 99 trks/disc. This is why Hoster kept importing.

I want to retain the Artist, Title, and manufactures name and disc ID i.e SC8800-13, MH1011-12, CBEP464-1-07 What do I put in SELECT BRAND?

None of these files had Brand Name in the title...

The Brand id NOT contained in the File Name. The Brand gets filled-in by Hoster automatically, if Hoster can interpret the DiscID correctly.

Under BATCH, you will not be able to Change the BRAND unless Hoster cannot identify the very FIRST Trk that is Clicked.

I would HIGHLY suggest to SEPARATE ALL Brands into their own Folder for BATCH Importing.

This is because I just tested BATCH IMPORTING this:

And got this when selecting BRAND in the ADD TRACK section on the MAIN Menu:
BRAND................Disc#
AH2000...............AH2000
.........................AMM001
.........................CBEP452

This means that Hoster Imported 2 different DiscIDs under the WRONG BRAND. AMM001 and CBEP452 DO NOT belong to BRAND ALL HITS 2000. Yet, these two DiscIDs where in the DROP-DOWN Menu as Discs under the BRAND Name AH2000.


Several of your Posts state that you are selecting the Brand, then clicking add Tracks.
Post #15

Every time I click add files whether it is batch or single I get a message saying "please select brand" so I select brand and hit add files and the message pops up again. Over and over again. Now what?

Post #17

This is telling me I need to select a brand name when I have already put one in there. But every time I hit add files the brand name I have selected disappears and the error message saying select brand name appears.

Post #25

As soon as I hit add files the custom assembly disappeared and the message came up asking for the brand selection.

Note on Post #25: You couldn't have had "Custom Assembly" showing unless it was Selected First. Then, Clicking the ADD TRACKS Button, after selecting "Custom Assembly" would have put you in the "Endless Loop."

This is INCORRECT, as you DO NOT click ADD FILES a second time.

I really am not any kind of expert at this part. I have imported a couple custom assembly types from converted SCDG and that is about it. I hope someone else can come up with some ideas.

Now, how "helpers" missed 3 GLARING references to what you were doing wrong is beyond me. Or the fact that BETA Testers do not know how to properly TEST a ZIP BATCH IMPORT...well, I don't have the words.

Click the first track listed
Click BATCH Button
Click ADD FILES Button
Select the BRAND or enter the BRAND Manually, if Hoster doesn't automatically find the BRAND
Click OK to start the BATCH IMPORT PROCESS.

Again, due to my NEGATIVE results in the above TEST of "Multiple DiscID" ZIP BATCH Importing, anyone performing ZIP BATCH Importing should GROUP EXACT BRANDS in their own Folder.

If that corporation is less than 3 people then yes it is smaller.

I assume you are counting the receptionist to get the number 3.
