You know how you hit 'inport disk'...and it gives you a long list of the different brands...well.....I'm not getting that anymore...it's blank.
?
not sure if I hit something or deleted something. Is there a way to restart everything...so everything loads back up?

And I'm not trying to be difficult...I know a little bit about computers...BUT...I just didn't know where to load it to -what files- so that when I would go to a show (yeah I do a show only 1x a week now and then a party here and there -because it's too much to carry-that's why I thought this would be PERFECT)....and could open it up with no problem.

I did read the post and that's where I learned KMA files....but I can't do anything with it now.....?

Thanks
Michelle

there are 2 ways you can saved your files ( kma ) into , 1). your internal dr.wich is your c: dr. or 2 ) ext. drive.you can go to edit songs and delete them on your song database, then i guessed you have to rebuilt your database.then you can start over, my suggestion would be to saved them on your ext. drive..

if you don't know how:

1. click on import songs
2. select the brand
3. select disc id
4. click on either search on line or local database ( if not on either one you might have to type them yourself
5. click on book id root
6. click on next
once the box is populated select which songs you wanna import or select all if you want to import all the songs
7. click on saved to : ( bottom left corner next to exit tab) you can choose where you want to save them to ..ext. or int. drive.
8 click on import selected tracks..thats all !!!

note: once you got all your songs imported you have to rebuild your song database

Hi,

Thanks,
I was going to start it and I thought I was 'getting it' but now I go to import and I can't....it won't recognize the disk. It should (as it did before) bring down a list of brands....and you selected it....but it won't do that now.....
:(

[Michelle]

Are you trying to get it to recognize your disk automatically? Try this - once you've put in your disk, just use the DropDown Menu & pick the Disk ID, then it will fill in all the rest of the information for you.

doesn't work....
not even recognizing that I put a disk in to play it.
I tried the import hard disk drive and it came up as Hoster application error and then shuts down Hoster....

I really would like to restart from scratch......this is getting most ridiculas.
:(

can u tell I'm frustrated....it's like something went wrong w/the program itself.

[Michelle]

Do you think maybe I deleted something I should not have....and could I RESTORE....?

If so ...HOW?

Michelle, are you importing from CDG or files off your hard drive? If you are importing files off your hard drive, read the whole screen. There is a check mark on that screen that hides files already imported. That check mark saves a text file to the location that you are importing from and keeps track of the previously imported files. You can either un-check it, or delete the .txt file from the location.

After going back and re-reading your posts, that is what it sounds like. Just like going to the doctor, you have to let them know EXACTLY what is wrong. When you said you are downloading disks, you were getting answers based on the assumption that you were loading CDG disks. After looking back on your posts, it sounded to me more like hard drive files.

For later reference and to keep things clear in the forum
Downloading is transferring a file over the internet to your computer
Importing is when use Hoster to add the songs to your system.
This can be done in a number of ways the 2 most common are:
Importing from disk this is when you put a CDG disk from the store in your CD/DVD drive and use the import from disk option
Importing fom Hard Drive this is when you use files already on you hard drive like MP3+G or ZIP files.

I don't want to sound mean here. I am just trying to help you. There are lots of people here to help. They just need to know exactly what you are having trouble with. You will usually get an answer within the hour if not sooner. In my opinion, this is the BEST user forum I have ever been on. There are people with a wide range of technical knowledge about computers and an even greater number of people who are expert at Hoster. They are all willing to help at a moments notice. The only thing we ask in return is that when you become a pro at using Hoster, and YOU WILL, that you come back here and return the favor to the next generation of new people.

I rebooted back to before they installed Hoster....OMG.....

what do I do now????
