Problem with HDZIP/HDMP3G

[GMANN]

Donnyv,
I had same problem with 4.03.

First Hoster 4.03 session:
I loaded all my zip songs to the play interface, and they would play just fine. Then I would shut down the 1st session of Hoster.

2nd Hoster 4.03 session:
Any zip song in the play list not played in first session (but left in the play list from 1st session) would come up in the second session as "ready". As soon as I went to play them in this second session, ALL zips returned "error" status and you could not delete them from the play list (additionally, any new zip songs added to the play list in the 2nd session would play just fine). To get rid of the "errored" zips in the second session, you had to shut down and re-start Hoster).

OK, bear with me as we are now in the 3rd Hoster 4.03 session:
The zips that were "error" in 2nd session now said "ready" and I was able to delete them. Any zips I added in the 2nd session (but did not play) also had a "ready" in the status, but when you went to play them, they "errored' and could not be deleted. Again while in 3rd session, any new zip songs added to the playlist during 3rd session played finer than frog hair. I am sure this would have perpetuated through a 4th, 5th, 6th....etc. sessions.

Solution (at least for me):
I had enough fun......So, here is what I did. I went to the Edit feature and deleted ALL my zip files from the songs database. Then I imported ALL the native zip files (which I have stored and backed on several hard disks) through the 4.03 interface. All the resulting kma files from the new zip import were made, and I rebuilt the songs database. Works fine now from session to session on all those files. I have not been able since to re-create a single glitch zip related or otherewise. Stability is rock solid.

This may not be a solution for everyone; there may be a more elegant way. This is how I dealt with it however.
