Timeline for importing hard drive zip files

[ddouglass]

If they are talking about importing these using 4.02, then it will take a bit longer as they will be unzipped and then imported in the original format (MP3+G, WAV+G or WMA+G).
Also since these are from SCDG then most will have 1000+ tracks. If all 1000+ have the same Disc ID then after 99 songs it will begin overwriting the first 99 or will stop with an error. I know I have been there and tried it.

OOPS! I didn't notice he said SCDG. In my mind it was CDGs. I was thinking he was probably doing what I do. Rip all my CDGs to zip for normalize and archival purposes. Also in a pinch I have used WMP and a plug-in to run a show from the zips when I couldn't get a reg reset. What a fun time that was

Looks as though I will have to wait on mtu to fiix the disc id issue for scdgs before I can use these in hoster. I did try to import one of the files, on the hd, that has 700 songs in it. Instead of opening that file, hoster opened all the files to all the disks that I have converted on to that hard drive. weird .......
