The explanation I got from them when I asked this question was that to protect us and the individual who owns the song they cannot legally leave it as available in this instance or if you close Hoster and re-open it. ANd actually it has always been that way. The only way one is saved is if Hoster crashes (has to be closed by Task Manager) and you re-open it.
As Sam said the only way around this is to open another copy of Hoster to open the new list.

yes i see that i must have had hoster program opened twice and it worked ok that way not a big deal just throught it should work until the song was played. not sure why if they can open other formats of files in k-oke like maybe even zip files at some point. i think that would be a better place to play a track off the disk then the slow import way that it is now but good to have it any way we can get it lol

Zip files were allowed through the K-oke button, but now are not and eventually will not be allowed by Hoster at all. Any imported through the Import from HDD now are converted (unzipped) to MP3+G. The conversion utility that was in 4.02 will be coming back in sometime in the future to convert all existing zip files. When Hoster has to unzip a file to play it the wait time was being extended to long, so to get rid of the problem zip files will not be used.

i just found out that you could use zips but i never tried that till now thought hoster would never use zip files was a good idea hope they can find a way to work around zip problem if not oh well .
once all the toys are working will be a great program again.
