Adding a song from a disc already imported

[STE4funguy]

OK, there is a song called "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off" THis song title is too long so it did not import with the rest of the songs on the disc. Now when I go back at try to import it with a shorter title, I get an error message stating

The BookID you have selected is already in use. Please select or type another BookID.

Unfortunatly, you can not change the BookID. I can highlight it, but can not make any changes.

Do a database search for that rootid or any of the songs associated with that disk and scroll over and note the brand and diskid.

If all else fails there are ways to force it. I've had to do it on occasion.

Did it error on the original import or did it say it was imported?

You could always go to the folder where the KMA files are and see if it's listed. If so I'd manually delete it, then do a database rebuild, and then reinstall.

There could be a catch22 situation here:

The real title is too long, and the system may not recognize the abbreviated title, so it may have to be installed as an unknown brand. I'd think you could still assign the correct disc id, once the database rebuild clears it.

If it's not in the folder, then I'd think doing a database rebuild would clear that disc id number

On the original import it did error and said the song title was to long for the amount of space alloted. I hit OK and it skipped that song and finished importing the rest of the disc. Then when I went back to import the missing song is when I can not change the BookID even though that's what it tells me to do.

You should be able to change the Title and keep it in the same bookid as the rest of that CD to import it. Just make sure you shorten it enough to make it fit for the header.
