Batch MP3 ZIP Problem, Any Suggestions?

[Ernieaquino]

I selected a folder and did what you said, but during the batch load of 491 files 2minutes into it , I got this error "Hoster Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenice" Now what? If I restart hoster and try again will it happen again? it seems to have imported a few already, will it know what imported already? I'm gonna try to reinstall hoster then run this same batch again, Other wise I don't think I can run an unattended batch if this is going to start to happen, imagine one with 3000 files!

Well I removed Hoster all together and the reinstalled (Not upgrade) Tried to import the same batch only this time it reported I would be importing 321 files this time so I guess it does start where it left off, However this time when I went to import those files it immediately came up with the same error message, Could a corrupt Zip file cause this?

Ok so I decided to try a different folder, This time "backstage" and it was working just fine importing over a 1000 files but then stoped and said this error message "The book id you have selected is already in use, Please select or type another book id" Thats just great, but I didn't select it! when I click on the "ok" button it trys to continue on and the error comes up again immediately. I'll try to break the cycle but closing down and rerunning the batch again, I'll also make note of the book id it's hanging up on. Man! this is not anywhere as easy as I thought it would be! Ah the price of progress!

Well I tried! I had to "control.Alt,Delete my way out of the program and that worked. Then ran the batch again and again it got stuck in the same place.
I closed down hoster again through C,A,D, and this time tried to import the rest of the songs but select next on book id tab and it went to a different book id (348, as appose to 912 where it seems to get stuck at) but with the same result! I looked at the book id to see what's in it and it's got only the first song of the disc (in this case it's against all odds by phil Collins) and it's showing as a CDCDG file. Hoster in the "batch mode" seems to be trying to immport the rest of the "phil Collins songs" My thought was to find the backstage KMA file obviously created by a CD+G in my other collection and deleting it, but I'm not sure if that would open the flood gates or not. MTU Help! I thought I was getting somewhere but now I'm stuck in "bookid Twilight Zone" I'll get some sleep now and try again tomorrow.
Well I tried one more time and found the only KMA and deleted it, I ran the batch again and got the error again, So MTU IT"S UP TO YOU, I've run out of ideas this seems to be a glich in the program

when you deleted hoster and did a new install did you delete the folder where hoster stores all the info ???

make sure you dont delete your kma's too.

i have my kma's in a different folder than the hoster folder.

[Ernieaquino]

Hey Beavis,

I just got past the problem, I deleted the original kma but that wasn't enough, I had to rebuild the Song Data base because when I did a bookid search it still found 912 but with nothing in it, so I knew it saw a ghost or shell of 912 of some sort. After rebuilding the song data base it was able to proceed, Thanks anyway!

HEY PATFO2 I BIG THANK YOU TO YOU! YOUR SUGGESTION REALLY HELP!

I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS AS ErnieaquinoA GREAT BIG THANKS TO PATFO211 ALSO. I FOUND IT EASIER THOUGH TO JUST RIGHT CLICK ON THE FOLDER YOU ARE WORKING ON AND SELECT SEARCH THEN PUT IN .ZIP, IT WILL FIND ALL THE ZIP FILES WHICH I THEN COPY TO A SEPERATE FOLDER ON MY DESKTOP AND IMPORT (BATCH) FROM THERE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY BAD ZIP FILES IN THE FOLDER HOSTER WILL STOP WORKING AT THAT BAD ZIP FILE. YOU THEN HAVE TO GO BACK AND START BACK UP AFTER THAT BAD SONG.
