Suspect that this may be a bug in hoster 4.05

OK I spoke to soon Ricky This happened to me tonight Hoster Froze on my XP System and when I opened another app. The songs that had already played where back on the screen and the ones that had not been sung yet were gone!! Thank GOD that I have a notebook handy so all I had to do was type in the songs that were missing (this was towards the end of the night) so this was easy to acomplish Had it been earlier in the night I would have had problems figuring out what had been sung and what hadn't. So I am going to try in the morning to recreate what happened and go from there. I know I have all the updates and that It has ran absolutely wonderful until tonight. However only one crash (I GOT LUCKY)

Mine were in the data base, i don't use zip files and i don't import singers discs.

Ok I kind of have something figured out I think When running in Auto I found that having to stop to wait on a singer to come up will freeze Hoster, this is what caused my crash last night. not sure why this would cause a freeze, any suggestions.

Did you "Stop" or "Pause"? I tried it both ways and could not get it to freeze.

When Hoster program freeze, the songs that you added on the playlist will be lost because the hoster will look for the last save state of the program, unless you saved it before it freezes, all the songs will be in the playlist. Like any other program when it freeze it will look for the last saved file.

yes same here last week hoster worked ok this week dang. Not so great when hoster would crash before it would keep playlist now when it crashes some old saved playlist shows up now this was a real pain in the butt for rotation and singers songs added wow. Went home to backup PC and even this one that was running fine is really really slow now with what ever I want it to do in hoster.Think i will go back to 3.4 till this all gets worked out to mutch stress not knowing if something is going to work or not.Looks like hoster needs a lot of things set and working right to run properly and even then it can crap out works good for a while then bammmmm lol. To me it looks like the new one window for all . problem or media player well i know at some point this will be corrected but is a lot to go through also this is an xp problem not just vista. Of coarse this is just what i see and maybe wrong but it is in the new because old works.OK for the peed fix i just did a register clean out and speed is mutch mutch better one thing down.

OK. I have been able to recreate this. Additionaly it does not even save the playlist if you close it normally with songs listed in the playlist which it should.
