Edit Songs "IS" editing the KMA header. Every change IS saved in that file's KMA header.

I found out days after this post that it was the problem files I had. They would not play in 4.xx. The were all tagged as CDCDG when I know they should have been hdzip. The zip file is my work around for normalize. I have not added a CDG without zipping since the normalize was removed.

I am confused. Are you saying you zip them after you have normalized them or are you saying by zipping them that it normalizes them?

There are plenty of programs out there to rip CDGs from Disks to MP3 + CDG into a zip file.(I have used most of them over the years) Then I run a 3rd party normalize program for volume control on the zip files.(I like MP3 gain) Then import the zips to Hoster. That is why I knew I shouldn't have any CDCDGs in the database because with the exception of a few MP3Gs the rest of my KMAs are derived from zip files. The errors I was getting were all from the incorrectly marked KMA files (There was a high %) When I noticed the CDCDG mis-mark problem, I deleted all of them. I then went back and reloaded from the zip files. After that, I went back to finding and marking dupes. I didn't see any hide in songbook check marks probably because they were skewed toward the CDCDG files. I later found some that were marked further down the list.

All that just to keep from turning a volume knob on the mixer
