We have discovered two very bad bugs in Hoster 3.110 and possibly 3.108.



First, if you run the Build Songs Database command in the Tools menu, the new Songs.mdb database will have changed all HDCDG, HDBIN, HDMP3G and HDZIP file TYPES to CDCDG, which will then not play. This bug is fixed in Hoster 3.2, which we hope to release this Friday. If you have run the Build Songs Database command in 3.110 or prior, your master KMA file headers have NOT been changed and building the Songs database with version 3.2 will fix the problem. Again this only happens to HDxxx KMA files.


Second, if you have used the Edit Songs command in the Tools menu to edit the header of KMA files (artist or title names, etc.), if you edited any HDxxx file TYPEs, their TYPE has been permanently changed to CDCDG which will not play. You must re-import the faulty songs. There is no way for Hoster to show you which files have a changed TYPE. You will discover them when you try to play, and the Status field shows "ERROR".


If all your KMA files were imported from CDG discs, you have no problems. These errors only happen to files converted from the hard drive to KMA files.



Recommendations:


1. DO NOT USE THE EDIT SONG COMMAND AT ALL until you have Hoster 3.2.


2. If you have run the Build Songs Database command and have files that will not play, wait until Hoster 3.2 releases, download it and rebuild your Songs database again so it will be correct. We expect to release 3.2 Friday August 19, by 5:00PM EST.


We are sorry these bugs were released. We do significant testing at MTU and with a crack team of Beta Testers before any code releases, and these bugs got past all of us.
