Host without Hoster?

Trying to keep an ongoing list of what has failed has proved a challenge for hubby and me, but we're learning. All in all, I am very pleased though out of fear of what happened to us originally (new version, songs disappearing) I've been mortally afraid to do the update to 4. Soon I hope to get up the nerve to do it, LOL.

Is it doing it to the same songs or kind of randomly choosing? Do you retest the same song before reimporting? I had songs that would just all of a sudden stop. Turns out the hard drives were going bad & it wasn't the actual files, then we also found that the mother boards SATA interface was dying. I am in the process of getting that fixed now.

No real rhyme nor reason to it at this point. I reloaded a bunch on the weekend and will keep a record of what is failing. Some are disappearing altogether. The "guts" of my machine are brand new and should certainly not be failing already with only two shows a week. I don't know if transporting constantly may have a bearing. Will have to get serious about laptop backup and maybe switching over completely to laptop, although I love our current setup (PC shuttle, cordless keyboard & mouse, and flat screen display).
