One thing I forgot to mention, When I said do this with no boxes selected on the smallest folder. I meant a folder that had previously been indexed as that should have the accompanying kmh header file in the folder, or kma file that also contains the header info. With no songs of type selected It will only import all the original files.

Having said that I'm surprised that if you tried importing 14 new tracks with the zip type highlighted that it didn't import them, when you brows to the folder, you must be right in the open file and should see all the files listed before pressing the select button, what makes me suspicious you were not right into the folder was you said it reported 0 out of 0 where as it should have said 0 songs imported out of 14.


Anyway this brings up another question, do the other folders that contain the files your trying to import have the accompanying kmh file ?

If you originally imported them as .zip types you should have a pair of files a zip + a kmh file, if you are importing them un-zipped you would have 3 files for each, an mp3, cdg and the kmh file all named identicle except for the extention.

If you import them as kma files you will only have the single kmh file as that contains all the data.

Now when you do this you must import all your previously imported files first or it will start numbering them with book ids or disc ids that are already in your system.
So don't try it with files that have never been indexed until you get all your original files back working.

Another thing I should have told you to do also, before doing any importing, after clearing the list of folders in the index files list, press the rebuild database button so as to create an empty database.

On another note is your old computer that you say you uninstalled Hoster from, does that still have the C\ drive in it.
If so open it and see if the Hoster folder is still there, it should have been in C\MTU folder, if the Hoster folder is still there we may be able to recover your system from that so let us know.
