New Hoster Lite, book from Hoster 3.321
Hello all,
I have not posted in quite some time, but now need your assistance. I have been using Hoster 3.321 for quite some time. In fact, I own 2 full versions for a total of 4 computer installs. BUT..... I would like to try out the new version and wonder if I purchase the new lite version (1 install) will I be able to load it with the same music I used on the older versions? What I want to do is use the new lite version on a laptop but be able to use my older version to make and maintain the song books so that all computers/hosters will have the same song number/book ID and can use the same songbooks. Is this possible or will I have to maintain a separate set of song books for the new version. Many thanks, Doransdome |

Re: New Hoster Lite, book from Hoster 3.321
When you install the new version Hoster creates a new songs.mdb by rebuilding the database, this has more fields of data than earlier versions but your Book Id's remain the same. (Providing it doesn't find duplicate BookId or DiscId's in which case it may renumber them)
If all your editing in previous versions was done via Hosters edit dialog then it will be retained in the new version. If you used another source to edit like Access then when the database is rebuilt you could lose some of those changes. Once this new database is rebuilt it is no longer compatible with earlier versions. So if each computer has it's own music files on it's own C:/drive I see no problem but if you are using an external drive with the music files on and switching the same drive from 3.16 version to 5.06 you may find problems as the headers in those files would contain more info and might not work in 3.16. There is a thread here posted by support regarding downgrading to earlier versions I advise you to read. http://forum.mtu.com/showthread.php?t=13002

Thank you Roy! That was just the information I was wanting. Sounds like it should work out for me.
Have a great day. Doransdome |
