How can I replace a track already imported as a KMA file?

I imported a disc of 15 songs, assigned it Disc ID 4-05

Unless you've given the DiscID a BRAND. Then, you'll need to Preface 600 with whatever Brand you ORIGINALLY Imported the Disc on. You can look in your KMA Folder to determine this.

I informed you that you should LOOK in your KMA Folder. If you would have looked in your KMA Folder, you would have seen the KMA files, pertaining to this DiscID, as, what you stated:

4-05

which means,

Disc 4 Track 05

If this is the case, then, you need to RENAME the Trk you are trying to RE-IMPORT as:

4-Track Number - Artist - Title.Bin


All the above is NOT what you were advised to do, in the first place. You were advised to assign BRAND as 600, DiscID as 600 and BookID as 600. (Or 405...whatever the case may be)

Had you done this, your KMAs, pertaining to this Disc, would have looked like this in your KMA Folder:

600-1 thru 600-15

which means,

DiscID 600, Track 1 thru Track 15

There is NO BRAND that prefaces the KMA File. You will ONLY have a DiscID Number.

If you had been IMPORTING Discs, like 99.9% of everyone else (which means there is ONLY .1% that could possibly help you with this problem...assuming that that .1% even had the time or would take the time to articulate and POST in this Forum), you would have seen a BRAND assigned to the BEGINNING of the DiscID and would be viewed in your KMA Folder like this:

Example:
SC8444-1

which means,

BRAND=SC (For Sound Choice Spotlight...as Printed on the Disc)
DiscID=8444 (as PRINTED on the Sound Choice Spotlight Disc)
Track= #1

Since you didn't IMPORT the standard way, you couldn't OBSERVE a normal IMPORT in order to be able to COMPARE your ALTERNATE method of Importing.

Hence, the million questions.

Label your HARD DRIVE Track correctly, and it will Import/Re-import correctly.

nReel, thanx again. And wonderfully said, really clear as well.
I have finally done it correctly. My problem, along with not being totally clear in the beginning too, was that my disc ID which was 4-05 and corresponded to root ID 405, was prefaced as 405, and should have been prefaced as 4-05. I did this while properly spacing the other dashes and the disc ID popped up with the root ID and all greyed out to boot. I knew I had it then.
With the discs that had 8 or 10 bad imports, I now use a "music CD-RW" for those; using very small bin files for dummies.
Everything works really fast as far as reimports go now.

I wanna thank you, incsmain, beavis, mindonstrike, and others who were patient with me. I think most of my million questions will slow down now, and perhaps I can be promoted to one that can help others on this forum.

Moral of the story: Stay away from CB discs as much as possible when importing!

Again, thanks for being really clear when I should have.
