My discs load but wonWon't download

[ddouglass]

What about the other discs that do work from the imported file? Did you try one of them the same way? If it works then yes you may have 6 bad discs.

You are using an External Drive. <-----Clue

It is VERY possible that your OS has assigned a different DRIVE LETTER to you External Drive.

With respect to Hoster, it IS POSSIBLE to add a song to the Playlist, because Hoster uses the information in the Songs.MDB to ADD a trk to the playlist, but not be able to PLAY the Trk, because Hoster looks for the KMA in a SPECIFIC location.

Open your Build Songs Database and look at the DRIVE LETTER designation.

Open MY COMPUTER and see what DRIVE LETTER is assigned to your External Drive. If they don't match, assign your EXTERNAL DRIVE to the SAME letter as what shows in the Build Songs Database.

that's not the problem.

I have another laptop running hoster so I downloaded the disc onto that laptop... onto the same external hard drive and it worked like a charm. then I switched to the laptop I'm having troule with and same problem.

Import one of the CDs or as you say download it to the external drive with the working laptop. Then move the external drive to the first laptop, rebuild the database there, search for it and try playing it.
If it plays then you have a CD drive problem on that laptop. It could be that your firmware needs to be updated or the drive is bad.
