One night while using the karaoke tracks as backgraound tracks, the owner brings up this guy who wanted to play guitar and sing "You Never Even Called Me By My Name", with the track. They said he was good enough. Needless to say his timing was so far off from the track (not to mention missing a bunch of chords) that I had to step in.

NEVER AGAIN!

Mr Jim sir:
I know thisis wayoff the track here, but I down loaded a test version of hoster yesterday, it is really different than Im sued too. What I need to know is can the test version take flies from the external hard drive, I cant get it to do it but there is a lot there I dont know about. and also can anything read kma files other than hoster?

Hey Dan,
I have not had the time to test any demo versions so I'm not familiar with the restrictions, others have. I'll do what I can to help.

What do you mean when you say "take files from the external external drive"? Please eaplain this in more detail.

Thanks

Jim

I ahve all of my karaoke stuff loaded onto a external hard drive, 500gb, I use this on my home puter that I dont have hoster on. I down loaded the current version of hoster trial yesterday, to just see if I want to use it in my shows, or stay with my old version. I was able to get the trial version to take the songs from a cdg, but could not get it to take files from my external hard drive that I have for back up. to tell you the truth I have never accesed any of the files on the external hard drive since I down loaded everything on to it ,I did check to make sure they are there and they are on it but could get the trial version to take anything from it.

So you are trying to import the files on your external drive into Hoster 4.03 through the "Import Hard Drive Files" section of the program, correct?

Are the files on your external drive marked as read-only?

oK HERE, i NEVER EVER PUT MY KARAOKE PUTER ON LINE, JUST HYPER ABOUT THAT.i HAVE A BACK UP 500GB EXTERNAL DRIVE THAT I CAN PLUG INTO MY PUTER, KARAOKE PUTER, AND ACCESS ALL MY KMA FILES, JUST LIKE ON THE HARD DRIVE OF MY PUTER THAT I USE AT SHOWS. I CAN ACCESS THIS ON MY CURRENT HOSTER PROGRAM IF I SET IT TO DO SO. BUT I PLUGGED IT IN TO MY HOME P[UTER YESTERDAY, AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME ADD THESE FILES TO SONG LIST IT WOULD NOT ACCESS IT AT ALL, BUT WOULD TAQKE A CDG AND PUT IT ON THE SONG LIST, IS THIS THE WAYIT WORKS IN JUST THE TRIAL VERSION OR AM I DOING SOMETHNG WRONG?
