Strange Happenings

[WaltR]

Dale,

I just open Hoster, went to the songs data base. Clicked on rebuild and it showed the G drive again, but no C drive. The only C drive file shown are those that have my KMH files but no KMA. If I select a song without the G drive hooked up it still brings up the KMA files on the C drive except those that I mentioned in the first post. They will only play if I have the G drive connected. How can it play the C drive KMA files if this drive doesn't show up in the songs data base?

Do you still have Hoster Kma files on drive c:\. if you do then remove the Ext. drive, then go to the dialog Dave mention and delete the G: folder and rebuild...

Any time you import or do editing you should make a copy of the song database after you finished.

Highlight song.db right click and choose copy it will make an exact copy with the word copy in front of the file name for times like these...

Good Luck,
Joe...

When I do imports or edit, I copy and paste C:\mtu to drive G. I delete G:\mtu before I do the copy and paste.
Were is song.db that you are suggesting I copy?

Some how your confusing the system, you need to do it in drive c: where it exist in the default folder...

[Joe Nieves]

You need to charge the default drive path from G:\ to C:\, by rebuilding and pointing to the c:\ drive folder where your files exist and it should solve this problem..

Do you have any other drives like thumb drv. on your system... if you do remove it first...

My Hoster folder is in C:\MTU\Hoster, where My song.mdb database is located. This is where I Backup the database with the copy command and leave it there.. then I backUp the entire folder to Ext. HD..on a major change.

The folder that holds My songs is C:\MTU\KMA, Folder you need to point to for the rebuild...

Good Luck,
Joe...

Joe,

I don't think you are following me. The folder that holds my songs is also C:\MTU\KMA. I back this up on my external drive which is the G drive. I do this by coping C:\MTU then pasteing it to G:\. I then have G:\MTU on my external drive. I have been doing this for quite sometime without a problem. Now my Hoster data base is picking up the G drive on its own. I delete it and it comes back again maybe the next time I open Hoster or maybe it will take 2 or 3 times before this happens. Right now if I open rebuild, it shows G:\MTU\KMA. It does not show C:\MTU\KMA. I don't have the G drive hooked up and even though it does not show the C drive in the data base Hoster will play my KMA files on the C drive. It won't play book I.D.s 485, 486, 487, 488, 489, 490. It will play these book I.D.s only if I hookup my G drive. I have tried to rebuild the C drive data base but it still won't recognize the above book I.D.s unless I have my G drive connected to the computer. How does Hoster play KMA files on my C drive if this drive isn't listed in the data base? How does Hoster add the G drive to my data base without me doing it? I hope I have explained this properly this time. Sorry if I have made this confusing.

Joe that is what I have done. I do have Hoster kma files on drive c:\mtu\kma.

I have the same files on drive G:\mtu\kma
I keep deleting drive G from the data base under rebuild. A few days later drive G shows up in the data base again even though I haven't added it or even had this drive connected to my computer.
