importing karaoke

[xxyzz]

I changed them to ignore ignore artist title and the last 500 imported rather quickly.

(When I was talking about the songs disappearing, what I meant was as the songs are listed in the import window once they import they are no longer view in the import window)

Looks like the problem is how the track number is set up in all these files.

Well guess what. After importing all my songs, I went into the program and all the songs were missing!! I check the file where they were and yes they are all still there along with the KHM file.

Soooo...

I started to re-import them all again doing it the exact same way I started 48 hours ago when they were inmporting at about one song per every 12 seconds.

I have them set up as DiscID track artist title even though the actual songs are listed as title then artist. I am doing a batch import, the title and artist appear to be showing up in the correct order AND they are importing at the rate of 1 per second!!!

I don't get it? I will wait and see what happens after they all import, see if they actually show up. If this does not work but I am expecting it too and I wanted to start completely from scratch what is the proper procedure.

Hum...I imported all 6005 songs in little over an hour...Did you try importing as a batch? It does it all for you...

What happens is it wrights the kmh header then notes it as a duplicated file because the disc id and track are the same and doesn't list it. it is put into a log of duplicates.

I think the easiest way to start again if this second attempt fails would be this:
From the build songs database select the folder with all these files in and press the remove folder button. This will put your database back to how it was before importing them.
Next using Windows explorer open the folder containing all these files and search for 2 files, "Imported Files.txt" and "FileErrors-Karaoke-List" and delete them. this will allow them to be listed in the import HD files dialog again and should over wright the previous kmh file.

I still think you will have to set the field separates to ignore for track # as you cant have 2 track # 0 for one bookid.
And if there are more than 99 tracks with the same discid again it will treat them as duplicates when it refills the import window.
So I think the way Jonpyle suggested is the best option.

Yes they were done as a batch file and every single songs has it's own unique discID number (none of them are repeated) so the 99 track limit would not apply.

I treid once to set the songs to
ignore ognore artist title but then all the artist and title names showed up as "undefined"

I don't really care about the track number but I would like to keep the discID, title and artist.

I don't know why you want to keep those ID numbers, their not that important. The last I spoke with Greg at Chartbuster, he was going to change the ID's for easier importing... If you want some ID to show their Chartbuster, I put mine as CB0600 thru CB0661 and imported them singlely, 99 at a time...Did they fix the format for the Doobie Brothers and Tom Petty by the time you got your HD?

These are the numbers from Greg at Chartbuster. That is why they all have a uniqure disc ID and all the track numbers are set to zero.

The only ones I had any import problem with was a set of Bellamy Brothers and one or two Beatles songs.
