External Drive Letter Change and Playlist issues

[Joe Nieves]

Make sure to move your Kma folders to ext. Drive FIRST.

Due the registry cleaner after removal of your Hoster program and all folders.

I think your MAJOR problem is that your previous installes are causing a conflict in Hoster so cleaning all folders out will give you a Total clean install.

If you don't have a registry cleaner here is a very good one that I use.

I got the 3.317 version to work but book id root is zero. It is importing as we speak so I will check to see if they play and then tackle getting the songs back into the program. At this point I don't care if the books are screwed up. I have edited all the duplicates out of my books anyway so #'s don't matter to me. I look up titles then pick the singers fav of what I think is the best version. I just want it to work so I can go back to work. I guess I can live with that if I can get all my file off my new hard drive.

Please don't tell me that I need to have the mp3 + cdg files from my old drive. I stopped the file transfer after all the kma files were finished. It will take about two days running 24hrs. to do this.

These files were converted using Songverter to use them in another program. ie compu...(that I don't like by the way)

If my files have been recovered with www.recovermyfiles.com software do I need to change the location in the drive from Quick NTFS partition 1 to get Hoster to find them? If so, how? The reason I ask is that newly added files are in the file list under all the other drive folders that came with the drive. The new files I added play fine so now I just need to get the others to be recognized by Hoster. Thanks for any help, Mark

One thing that might be worth checking in case recovered files are corrupt, right click a .kma file then click properties. A normal file will be about 3.00 to 6.00 Mb in size, if they are only a few kb Then they are not complete or corrupted. Another way to see this is to set view on your folder to display details.

All files show normal sizes but I do wonder if there is a problem with the import. Since these are KMA files, when I click on import hard drive files which of the four options should I use?

[Roy Dennis]

You don't use import hard drive files for the .kma's.
I have not seen anything in your replies to say that you have done the rebuild data base option.
This is the way to get Hoster to recognize the .kma files.
It is under Tools tab/ build songs data. On opening this you must direct it to the folder where you .kma files are on your external disk. any other folders listed there delete apart from the new ones you added in the last 24hrs.

Morning, Roy is right on the money here. Rebuilding your database will not only get you back to running, it will match your books. The book #s are stored in the KMA file.
