Seems to be mostly disk numbers 300 and over that I have noticed so far. Like I said they work somtimes and then don't. It does this on both computers with using different external drives. First noticed problem after upgrading to 4.0. Just tried using the Hoster34 located in Hoster directory and don't seem to have problem.

Did you check for ticks

Seriously though, PHN 706 only has 9 tracks on it and 9 with vocals. That would be 18 total. What song are you trying to play? It shouldn't have a track 20 on it. What was the original source for this?

What I will do is when I have a disc that has duplicate songs I take a few of the songs I don't have and put them with a disk that don't have many songs. PHN only have maybe 9 songs on it so when I make a disk and import them together. The source is all original disks and of different makers. Some PHN,PHM,SC or MM. I like each disk to have about 20 songs on it, keeps disk numbers alot lower. Have been using Hoster since version 2.0 I think 1994 using same method and never had problem until the 4.0 came out and still no problem when using 3.4. Thanks for reply.

I've asked our Sr. Programmer to review what you are posting here. This has never been reported before to my knowledge. We'll see if there is something clearly we can do.

Have you tried uninstalling Hoster and re-installing? It may be there is something slightly not right with it to cause this. However, I suspect there is something wrong with your computer setup, but I want to rule out Hoster before saying it is your computer.

If you would like to reset my code if needed I will uninstall and reinstall hoster. I have been looking for someone else to have same problem since I started having problem but no one has. Thats why I wrote in. Maybe could be computer but two computers doing same thing. Don't know what else to do. The funny thing is that it does not happen with older version of Hoster.
Thanks for help.

You don't need to have your code reset with version 4. Just be connected to the internet. That will automatically reset your registration.

How exactly do you put these in when you import them? What Brand and DiskID do you use when you do these combination disks?

Are you trying it in 3.4 after you have run the 5 times in 4 or have you tried going straight to 3.4 and testing?
Also have you run one more than 5 times and if so what were the results after it played on #5?
Are you starting this test imediately upon Hoster opening or do you wait for the MTU logo video to finish?
Do you have any disks in this range (above 300) that are not combined disks? If so have you tried this test with any of them?
Yes, I am clutching at straws. This is a strange problem. I am just trying to come up with tests that will help isolate where exactly the problem is.

If I am using the complete PHN disk and adding a few songs from other disks to it I pull up PHN change to example PHN00706-320 then add the songs that are not on disk. Have done this since day one don't know why it would cause problems now, but you never know. I have loaded 3.4 and tried different songs for about an hour with no errors. On Hoster 4.6 I may not have to run 5 times I may load once then second time it plays then third time it comes up error and so on. I wait until everything is up I even have done a show for hours with no problems then once I get to a certain song that is not always the same ussually on a disk over number 300 this happens and yes some of them are not combined. I had thought of that too. Thought maybe slight different codes for different companies, but still can't figure why it works on 3.4 with no problems. Thanks for the help I have tried all avenues with no luck I am going to try and reimport the diskd over 300 and if that don't work unistall then reinstall Hoster.
