No database in 3.108

[dlessnau]

I just returned from vacation today. I don't have access to my laptop until tomorrow and will do the check as you requested then. I will post what I find tomorrow.

I had my employees doing my shows while gone and Hoster continues to work fine, except for the import problem.

Dlessnau,
I will be out of town the 14th through 18th, so Please post here as I will be checking on the Forums as much as I can.

Admin will not be on the board for the next few days.

As requested I went to Import Tracks, Import CD tracks, and in the Brand drop down menu, I see the following for first 10 listed:

Custom Assembly
KHProducer Made
Unknown Brand
Custom Assembly
KHProducer Made
Private Reserve of Mine
Unknown Brand
A #1 Series
All Beauty DVD
All Beauty Laser

I see duplicates of the first three above. However, after "A #1 Series", I see no more duplicates in the drop down list. The last item in the list is "Zoom Platinum Artists".

If I click on "Chartbuster Artist" in the drop down list I see CB90130 and CB90106 listed which are 793 and 794 in my book id. It should show all the Chartbuster discs, not just the two I have.

If it makes any difference, I do not have all the windows updates because when I last updated them about six months ago, I had major problems and has to use system restore to get rid of them so Hoster would work.

Since I don't go on internet except to download updates, and only use the computer for Hoster, I am scared to update when things are working OK.

Please advise, as I am getting nervous that something else will stop working and I would not be able to do my shows.

Dlessnau,
This means your Database is working correctly.

Are you not seeing the tracks on the CD when you try to read a disc? If this is the problem, then all you need to do is go to the Tools Menu\CD/DVD Drives Default. Click the Down arrow and select your Plextor drive again at the very bottom. Then click Ok. Close Hoster. Reopen Hoster and Try again and it will work.

How can I read the disc if the disc number does not show up in the Brand dropdown menu? If the disc number is not there, it does not know what the songs are on the disc and will not read it.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, Chartbuster Artist only shows two discs in the data base. These are discs I already imported. It will read those discs fine, but it will not read any other Chartbuster Artist discs because they do not show in the data base.

Try a different Chartbuster selection. If you are importing your OWN discs or discs that are not in the Database, then it will add your new listing into this dropdown. So if you add a Brand of dlessnau then you will now see this brand in your pull down menu with the DiscIDs that you have imported.

So you might be selecting some brand that you have Imported, and not one that is actually from our Database.

This is actually what your problem is, as there is no Listing for a Brand called Chartbuster.

They are more like:
Chartbuster 4+4+4 Gospel
Chartbuster 6+6 Country
Chartbuster 85000-Hits Of 2000
Chartbuster Essential 450
Chartbuster Essential 450 II

ETC.....

So this is why you only see 2 discs under Chartbuster. So please select the correct Brand selection for your actual Chartbuster disc.

I am trying to import Chartbuster Artist Series disc 90147. It is not in the data base. Nothing is in the database EXCEPT the Chartbuster Artist Series discs that I have already imported.

I thought I could import this CDG by typing in the 90147 and read the disc, but type in the titles and the artists, like I have to do with a custom disc or a new release not in the database (when I had a database)

However, I now see more of a problem. There is no place to click to "read the cd tracks" as before.

Maybe I will go back to the version before 3.108. I could import and read discs with that version.

I will check that out as you say Chartbuster Artist is not in the database, even though it is written on the CDG as Chartbuster Artist Series 90147. Maybe I typed that in before and it is showing only those two I typed in.

However, what about the problem of no place to click for, "READ CD TRACKS"?
