Ripping in Music.....

[ddouglass]

How did you rip or import them?
If you imported from the Hoster Import utility (either CD or Hard Drive then they would already be there and you don't need to rebuild the database to get them to show.

yea i know. when i close hoster and reopen it they are gone again. still on the h.d. folder bit not in hoster. i brought them in on "import cd tracks"

[ddouglass]

All in one folder (with the previous 550) or a separate one?

[bigjimwhite]

all in the same folder. is there a way i can talk to you on the phone?

[ddouglass]

No, I don't put my phone number in a public forum.

Do you get any error messages when you import them?

[bigjimwhite]

no error messages. i am using 2 different computers to rip into my external hd's. after about 100-150 i copy them to each other and then re-build. it is not even showing them being brought into the h.d. i just tried another and it played fine. i closed hoster reopened it and it is gone again. still in the hd folder but not in hoster

Check some of the files properties and make sure they are not read only. When you copy/move from one computer to another then sometimes Windows will set them as Read Only. Hoster cannot use them that way.

Jim, I think you might be better concentrating on one computer and getting that working right first.

When you are importing check the save to file location at the bottom of the import window as shown in my attachment and make sure you are using the same path when you use the rebuild option. One other thought are you saving these to the C/ drive ? If not check that your drive letter hasn't changed as can happen when swapping things on the USB connectors.
