Problem with lost files

[jelyer]

Hi everyone,
I've read all of your postings and they still don't resolve my problems! I installed the version prior to 3.321 and immediately began having problems - when I installed it, all my music files disappeared. I cussed and swore for 5 minutes, but within about 40 more I had figured out what I needed to do to fix it. As I only play around with the program occasionally, I didn't have any further problems and hadn't checked for updates, since it was only a couple of months ago that I had upgraded. Tonight I was singing along, having a good time... One of the songs that I wanted to sing again reached the end and I didn't hit stop in time, so I closed the program and re-opened it. When I did, Hoster no longer could find my songs! I had a separate file as a back up, which also disappeared. I have activated hidden files for search criteria and have looked under *.kma as well as some individual song names. To make matters worse, I was able to find the songs under the search feature of Hoster, although it would not allow me play the songs or to add them to the playlist. So I thought I'd help things by re-building the database. Now I can't even locate the songs within Hoster's search feature. I do not want to have to re-import my 2400 or so songs if I can avoid it. Anyone have any advice for me? I'm tearing my hair out and probably won't sleep much tonight! Any thoughts will be much appreciated!!
