If not are all the files in one location?

Sorry, I meant any errors when Rebuilding, which you already answered.

I recently had the same problem as you when I installed 3.321 on my old pc which I had just restored from scratch. I used the same external usb hard drive as I used with my laptop for the .kma files. I pressed the rebuild database button, it said I had 700 or so duplicate I.D. and there were a lot of tracks missing but on the laptop there were no duplicates reported. I then deleted the bad .mdb data base and rebuilt a second time and all was well, no duplicates and my full quantity of songs back. I don't know why but it was alright the second time.

Sorry, I was so frustrated yesterday!!!!!!!

After all the discussion, I decided to take a closer look at the List of Duplicate ID's. To my surprise, all the CDGs listed as having a "duplicate ID#" were ALL in the database. (I really don't understand how this could have happened - it's as if I uploaded all them twice!!!!!!)

As to why Songs seem to have "disappeared" when I tried to add them at my last Show - I am embarassed to say that apparently it was only because the "Title" button was no longer pressed down in the "Search" window. I was told by some customers that they saw 2 people fooling around with my laptop while I was in the bathroom. When I checked, everything was running fine & I couldn't find any problem. Soooooooo, when checking the "Duplicate ID" list last night against what was still in the database, ONLY THEN did I discover that the problem was in the "Search" window!

I also re-read the Manual, which does state that songs with duplicate IDs do need to be re-imported. However, since all these songs are still in the database, this is not necessary! ALL IS WELL.
