New Version Will Not Read .ZIP Files

[rolszews]

I just upgraded to version 4.21 with no effect on my problem. When I try and load a disc, the show errors, and when i click the bubble it shows the files in the field order that I have defined correctly.

When exactly are you getting the error message and what does it say?

Tell us exactly what you are doing step by step from opening Microstudio.

I want to put these files in the PLAY list and play them...If I can't do that, I can't do anything else.

I select a disk folder from the directories on my external usb drive, and try to add them to the "My Songs" window.
No files are listed,
and The bubble states:"Some Errors Found" Success count:0 Failed Count:15


The bubble also staes that "Some files could not be added to the My Songs list. If you would like to view the List Of These Files, click anywhere in this bubble.
When I do, I get the attached notepad file: FileErrors-Karaoke-list.txt which has the following:

SC7531-01 - 5Th Dimension, The - Aquarius (Let The Sun Shine In).zip
SC7531-02 - Edwards, Tommy - It's All In The Game.zip
SC7531-03 - Price, Lloyd - Personality.zip
SC7531-04 - Rogers, Jimmie - Honeycomb.zip
SC7531-05 - Lee, Brenda - I'm Sorry.zip
SC7531-06 - Diamonds, The - Stroll, The.zip
SC7531-07 - Cannon, Freddie - Tallahassee Lassie.zip
SC7531-08 - Byrds, The - Turn Turn Turn.zip
SC7531-09 - Lovin' Spoonful, The - Summer In The City.zip
SC7531-10 - Cream - White Room.zip
SC7531-11 - Beach Boys, The - Surfer Girl.zip
SC7531-12 - Puckett, Gary & The Union Gap - Young Girl.zip
SC7531-13 - Rolling Stones, The - Time Is On My Side.zip
SC7531-14 - Peter, Paul & Mary - Leavin' On A Jet Plane.zip
SC7531-15 - Swingin' Medallions, The - Double Shot.zip



It does not give me any indication of what is wrong.



ALL of my zip files give these errors.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I can convert these zip files to Bin files, and then I can read, play, copy them with Microstudio, etc...anything I want, so these files are good.

If you are converting them with Songverter, try doing a zip to zip conversion or zip to MP3+G. This may fix them where Microstudio can read them. Obviously there is something wrong in the header or compression format that they are in now.
Because they play as BIN files then nothing is wrong with the audio/video data. The most likely problem is in the zip formatting/compression. There are many different formats available for zipping files, but Microstudio is not capable of handling every one of them.

These all worked prior to upgrading to version 4.0. I have these in zip files to begin with, and have converted them back and forth with CDGTOOLZ. I guess I will have to live with this. I do not use songverter, since I only own Microstudio.

Please upgrade to Microstudio 4.22 and try again.

Please go to our Support Page and submit a Support Ticket (choose dept. SUPPORT).

1. Mention this Forum Thread so we know what this is in reference to.

2. State in your Ticket that the attached ZIP file is not recognized in Microstudio 4.21 and thus won't appear in the My Songs list.

3. Attach your shortest of the files that don't appear.

We will have to analize the ZIP file to see why it is not being recognized. I have no explanation why you say it worked prior to Mstudio 4.0 and now won't work. We didn't remove ZIP abilities in the new releases.

At the moment, I'm suspecting something has happened to your ZIP files that makes them different.

When we receive one of your files we can diagnose why it won't import. If it is something we can fix, we will in 4.23.

I have some karaoke .zip files and tried to burn them with MS 4.22 and it too will not load them in order to burn them. I also have another program that has no problem doing this. MS has given me various problems from the first one I bought thru all the upgrades I have gone thru including locking my computer up so thoroughly that it had to be rebooted. I use windows XP home as an operating system.
