Billyo - You need to download 4.11 again and re-install. They made a quick fix late yesterday and put it up in place of the one you downloaded.



In the About Hoster it will show the version as "4.11." (note extra period at the end) which indicates the changed version.

i just downloaded the 4.11,on my show laptop, hopefully this is the one you're talking about ( extra period at the end ) i clicked on " about hoster..hoster logo popped out it say 4.11. BA player fade in/out still 0.0 -5.0 i thought it was change to .20-100 other than that everything works great

Billyo the Fade In/Fade Out settings are in Seconds with half second increments 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, etc. The volume level was what is 20% - 100%.

thanks Dale, i kinda figure that out last night, just wasn't thinking right,had too much liquid courage but everything is working great, i let it run till 2am in auto/man. mode played vcd and not a single hicup, no audio drop-out, no out of sync..

i'm working on my friends laptop, i removed the old 4.11 and re-installed the new one, the problem she was having with the old 4.11 was she imported a few songs,ext. hhd destination, and rebuilt the songdata base using the add button, the songs she used to play that was in her ext. hhd comes up a diff. a title ,and other songs are also missing , i checked the ext. hhd. the files are in there, the imported songs are also there, but when using the rebuilt button, the songs she was looking for, the missing files,will show up the imported songs are in the hhd, but wont show up ( imported songs )when she do a search , she never had this problem before using the old 4.06 version ,other than that everything is working fine, no audio dropped out , no out of sync...

First thing is if you import songs with Hoster you do not have to do either Rebuild or Add to get them in the database. They are already added in during the import.
Are you sure the right buttons are on in the search and the Duet and Mux off?
My guess is she had some duplicate BookIDs and by using the Add this changed one of the duplicates to a new BookID. Which would be why the titles seem to be changed.
I don't know of anyway to get them back to what she had once they have been changed. My guess is none of them are missing but just have a different BookID than what they had. If she searches by title for the missing songs I bet you'll find them with a different BookID.

i did searched for the title, and diff. name came up, so i search for the did title and it comes up the same name ( title ), i just removed 4.11 and re-installed 4.06. i get the same result, diff. title, missing files etc. i thought that you had to rebuilt/add your songdata base everytime you import new songs? and also why would the files shows up if using the add, and not when using the rebuilt button?

would changing the ext. hhd. with another drive ( back-up )and changing the destination folder from F: to E: and not rebuilding it ,would solve the problem?

No you do not have to do anything to the database when you import songs. Only if you copy KMA files imported on one computer to another computer. Then you have to Add or Rebuild.
Re-installing 4.06 is not going to change anything dealing with the database. The damage is done. I am not sure what exactly has happened but I still think she had duplicate BookIDs.
The only other thing I can think of is to delete the database files and rebuild the database from new. I would re-install 4.11 first as it did not cause this problem.

If you do this and don't rebuild then it will still be looking on F: for the files not E:. If you change out the drive to the back-up drive she will have to re-import the new files unless they have already been put on the back up.
