That thread is confusing as someone in there redirects you to another thread on the same subject again. Just thought I would shorten his search a bit.

None of above worked. Rebuilding database did not sort out problem. Checked the database and no problem found in the manufacturer field which leads me to think this erroneous track has not been added to database but is still lurking in the songs folder. Is there any tool from MTU that checks files for consistency? Cheers

I'm having exactly the same problem, and have tried deleting the database files, rebuilding, etc etc to no avail. Anyone who figures this out will be my hero!

To brucey and /or transouth: When do you get the error msgs? Before ,during after, etc. What version did you upgrade from? Does Hoster not work properly after getting these msgs etc. The more info the better.

I receive this error message during a database rebuild. When it asks "Do you want to see help" I click on no, and it continues with the rebuild. Everything seems to work fine afterwards, this is more of an annoyance than a major problem. The frustrating part is I can start a database rebuild, and about halfway through it stops with this error, and then won't continue until I click "No" to the help question. This means I can't leave my computer unattended during the database rebuild and expect it to be finished when I return!

This means you have some corrupted, bad files or duplicate bookids. There is a log file BuildSongDBLog.txt located in
C:\Program Files\Micro Technologies Unlimited\Hoster\databases folder. This will list all files not included, so you can look at the list and figure out why.
