I don't quite understand what you are getting at.
If you already had the songs imported correctly all you need to do is point Hoster to your Music files folders.
When you open Hoster select Tools/SongsDatabase then from the next dialog select Build Database.
The next Dialog shows various types of file imports and below that Add Folder button and Add Folder/Subfolders, Selecting the Add Folder button starts explorer window and you Brows to one of your music folders, when you get to the right folder you should see all your files listed, press select and that should then index all those files into your database, if you have more than one folder containing your music files repeat the above untill all the folders are added to your list of folders.
You don't need to do anything with an XL file. Providing you had them listing by BookID before they still should.

I never had the lite version so not sure how that was different.
With Hoster Lite, when you open your C|MTU folder did you have a folder named Hoster ? or was it named something else like Hoster_lite? if it was I should think you could open that folder and copy the contents to the new Hoster folder then when you start Hoster it should automatically fill in the list of folders and build the database so you would be ready to go when you first start Hoster.
