Since you used "Unknown" for the DiskID, my guess would be that each disc you imported overwrote the previous one.
The question is why are you using "Unknown" and how did it come up that way?

Dale,

I guess I'll have to cling to ignorance! When I selected the disk brand and put in the disk ID, and clicked on "search online" it found the correct title and artist but at the same time completely changed the brand and ID to unknown. Should I have gone back before importing and re-changed or am I doing this simple process wrong?

The online search will do this to you. Yes you need to re-enter the brand and discid, before you actually import. I would also be sure to look and make sure the titles are correct ("The" or "A" moved to the end with a comma) and that the artist is listed as Lastname first. A lot of the on-line database entries are incorrectly formatted.
I would try the internal search first to see if the disc is listed. If it isn't then use the on-line search, but check the formatting and that it hasn't replaced the brand and diskid.

Dale,

Now that I have downloaded 50 some odd discs, if I reload them I will have a load of repeats. I searched Hoster for "Unknown" disc ID and got approx. 1 disc, probably the last one I loaded that was marked unknown. Is there anyway to deep from duplicating?
