Hey Dale, so let me get this right, once I download to "convert to mp3+g folder" and import into Hoster they have to stay there? Or on the other hand download into convert to mp3+g folder, convert with mp3+g toolz, move it to "sent to Hoster folder" and import from there? That kind of takes away from the convenience of being able to search for a song that needs to be corrected from just a few files to trying to find the file from within thousands of files, but if that's the way it has to be, that's the way I have to do it. And as far as deleting them from the Edit utility, is there a way to possibly put a wild card into the search to get all files imported by date? That sure would make things easier to delete all the kmh files and the DiscID and so on.
By the way, I did find the email I sent to MTU requesting the release of the programs, and Doug Cox said he would release them and told me to download into my new rig, but only the Hoster and Microstudio worked.

Thanx, JRMerc

What I am saying is that whatever folder or folders you want them in that is where a copy has to stay. You can put them in separate folders by disk if that is what you want, but that is going to make for a very long list of folders in the Rebuild list.
The way I have done it is I have a top folder (Hoster Songs) with sub-folders for CDG songs from disk (KMA files), Audio songs (MP3 rips of disks) and MP3G (KMH files + MP3 +CDG). That way I only have 3 folders listed.

I am not sure why you say that. All of the MP3, CDG, and KMH files are names the same. That is exactly the same way you named them with DiskID, Track, Title, and Artist (or so you said earlier). How hard is it to search for the title or artist that way? Certainly not as difficult as searching through KMA files which are only DiskID-Track.
And no there isn't any way within Edit Songs as the date imported is not in the header. You can look through the folder in Windows Explorer, sort by date, an dget all the KMH files together that you just created when you imported. Delete those and then Rebuild database that should get them out and you can re-import.

That would explain it as Doug Cox does not work for them anymore and hasn't for quite a while. It probably got lost in the shuffle. Do as I said in my previous post.

Hey Dale, thanx for the info. And Doug Cox not being with the company sure explains alot. That's probably why I didn't get any answer on my follow up email since it was addressed to Doug. And actually, I only have the 2 folders. I don't use Hoster to play DJ music, only for karaoke. The first folder was where I'd download the zip files then convert and import. The 2nd folder is where I would put all the files after conversion and importing.

Doug left MTU in March, 2007. That's a VERY old request.

Please click the SUPPORT navigation link at the top of any of http://www.mtu.com/ pages, use our Web Email Form and select Support. Bryan will be glad to help you.

Thanks Admin, I know it's an old request, but like I said, after I didn't get a response back, I let it slide, figuring you were too busy tweaking the fantastic software we use to put on the "Greatest Shows On Earth". And since I did get Hoster and Microstudio, I could still run my shows. I just think it would be nice to have those programs back. I don't expect to get them free, but if I could get them as an upgrade, which I would've done anyway if I had the programs installed, that sure would be nice.

KHPro does work with 64 bit.

Dale, unless they put out a version since yesterday, khPro will not work on 64 BIT. At least this is what mtu wrote and told me. And they also informed me, it ain't gonna be none to soon before Microstudio is operating on 64 bit neither.

Last I knew it was working on 64 bit because the only thing 64 bit was causing problems with was burning to a CD and KHPro doesn't do that.
I know that they are working on Microstudio right now to fix this. They are going to work on KHPro next but that is to change some capabilities and fix a couple bugs. That is straight from Admin 2 days ago.
