Coming in from the fog!!!

I have not been able to register my software due to a conflict that will probably be resolved today, but in previous versions, you were supposed to be able to choose Last name first, or first name first eg. "Tritt, Travis", or "Travis Tritt". when you created your song book, but this feature never worked. We were told that this was because of how the songs were imported into hoster. There were fixes suggeted like rebuilding the kma headers, but these never worked either.

However, when you look at the .kma files, their names are created obviously by using the disk number and manufacturer.

This would seem to tell me that it would rely on the "songs.mdb" provided by MTU to creat the song book either way you wanted. Make sense?

I'm not going to mess with it right now, I will wait till I get a

Apparently the feature you are talking about was removed. The only way I have seen it is as one field with the Artist name being however it is put in. In order to do what you are talking about the name would have to be in 2 or more fields. That would raise all kinds of problems.

Hoster is better with new drive coding to allow many different brands instead of just Plextor and new error correction to really clean up the display.

A tremendous amount of upgrades were added to the Songbook, hopefully including what you are looking for.

Please download and read the manual. There is no way we can "teach" you all that changed through the Forums. It is all in the manual.

Thank you so much!

You're welcome!

Sometimes things take longer for many reasons. It sounds like we have finally pleased you.

I am waiting to hear back from support as I tried to install this on a new computer, and it says I can't install on more than two. I didn't know I had to un-install from this one before I rebuilt it!!!

I did a little reading in the manual last night, and I can't really tell if my issue has been corrected, but I will soon.

In answer to douglass, the feature is still there to print your songbook either way eg.: First name first = Travis Tritt, or last name first = Tritt, Travis.

My only question remaining is can I recreate my songbook having these all right with my existing kma files, or do I have to correct each file seperately in "song edit"?

We'll see

Thanks,

Jerry
