Importing zips in folders

[blizzardboy]

I have about 5000 zips I am trying to import into Hoster 3.10. The zips are laid out as follows. 1 folder containing about 300 individual folders each representing a disc and containing 15 to 18 files. How do I import these? When I go thru the normal process there is nothing to select since there are many subfolders. Thanks.

It sounds to me that every individual zip would need to be taken out of the sub folders and put in one main folder. Is that correct?

Unless you want to import each individual folder one at a time (and that isn't as bad as it sounds) then the answer is yes. The Import from HDD screen doesn't search sub-folders for files.

I hope all 5000 files are using the same naming convention. It will make things go smoother if you don't have to keep changing the import settings.
I also hope that none are zipped at maximum compression as Hoster cannot import those. If you have any that are at maximum they will have to be unzipped and rezipped at a lower compression.

Where does one buy legal "zipped" karaoke files?

I ripped mine from my Karaoke CDs and zipped them into groups, for example SC8829 that holds fifteen files. I have much better control over them when I want to transfer from one hard drive to another, or look for a missing and damaged file. I also can see in a minute if I have missed one of my CDs or have to purchase one to fill up my group. For example, if I have CB90001 through CB90099, but am missing CB90056, it's an easy thing to manage.

That it what we did also. I did not realize that once I did that I could not import them in that format. I did not realize Hoster can't search for sub folders. Most importing programs out there have no problem with sub folders.
