Here is what the manual says:

When (Check Box) is disabled, populating the lists for the Title and Artist drop down fields in Edit Songs, Import CD Tracks and Import HD Files only used the Local Database, which is much faster.
When (Check Box with check in it) enabled, this searches your Local Database and your Songs Database to add your custom song Titles and Artists to the lists.
Whether the lists are used or not can be disabled in each screen; Edit Songs, Import CD Tracks, or Import HD Files.

Sorry I'm being such a "dunce" on this one! I must have a mental block or maybe I'm not asking the right question I still don't understand the difference between the 2 different databases used (one when enabled, the other when disabled)??? And why is one faster than the other? I especially want to understand what is the difference in the way the Title & Artist are listed?

When using the Edit Song feature, the Import CD Tracks feature or the Import HD Files feature which now have Auto-Fill, Hoster has to compile the list of choices that show up in the drop down menus.

When the box is checked, hoster only reads the Local Database information which is fastest. When the box is checked, it reads the Local Database and the Songs Databse which takes twice as long. This just means you have to wait longer for the window to open.

I have not had the time to work with this feature yet. Just click on it and then open one of the three windows mentioned, it won't hurt anything.

THANK YOU very much! You explained it so even I could understand it

Skybird76, I answered your question about "Why" in a prior thread. You should have an email from that one, if you have visited that Thread each time you receive a notice (part of the Forum scripts - it won't send a second email notifying that a post has been made, if you haven't visited since the last email for that Thread was sent to you.) I don't remember which Thread as I've been answering MANY since 3AM.

THANK YOU!!!!!! Yes, I have been reading the Threads as they come & sometimes spend a couple hours just going through all the new posts to see what other users are saying! There has been so much, that it has been hard to digest and understand everything, especially the more technical aspects. You also answered me in great length in another Thread for which I also THANK YOU. Yes, I did feel like I was being ignored for a while, but now I understand. Sorry..... I didn't mean to be another "thorn" in your side!!
