If you buy microstudio and change edit names of singers or track name in that program it will change header info for you., then rebuild database and it will be right. This is how I do it.

i did it this morning through the edit command. we will see if it reverts back.

It will revert back. Hoster uses the KMA File header contents to rebuild the Songs Database.

See, I told you! Dale's spot on isn't he!!!

Interesting thought. I tried this. Yes, right clicking you can edit the Title and Artist fields. However the Edit Songs command in Hoster is much faster. You can even play the file, and edit the fields while playing, the click the Play Next button and it auto-saves the changes for your prior file. That way, you can just keep walking down the Search / Found list of KMA files.

Oh yes, using the search section above, and clicking on the column headings can find the files you want, and sort them in whatever order you want. Then the Play and Play Next buttons work down this list.

i kinda felt bored today, so i decided to use the hosters edit button to changed all the unknown files i have , closed to 100 of them, i don't know how they imported like that " unknown " but anyway it went great, i just click on play and typed in titles etc. unfortunately some of the songs i have doesn't list the artist name..

There are a couple of sites on the web where you can look up songs and it will tell you who has released it. I am out of pocket for a while thanks to hurricane Ike or I could list on here that I have used.
