[northlander]

is there anyone out there thats having problems with microstudio 4002 recognizing folders, everything worked fine with 4001,now it seems the only thing that will play now in the folder is disc # and track # any song that comes up with brand will not play any ideas i have sent mtu emails
but have not heard anything from them.
thanks bob

I am not sure what you are asking? What types of files?
What operating system?
Microstudio only sees the folder you have specified. If there are nested (sub-folders) it will not list them. Also, changed was that it no longer shows CDG files in the list, so if you have any of those you need to rename them with a BIN extension.

what i mean when you open microstudio 4002 and go into browse and open the folder you want and it opens it will show title artist and filename
so in the filename section if i click on example 1023-15 kma the song will play but
if i click on cb90272-11 it will not play everything that is numbered is fine
seems anything that shows the brand will not play.

im also using windows xp with all updates

Wow! That is a good question because they are all the same regardless of filename (they are all KMA files, right?).
Were they all imported with Hoster and show the Artist and Title?
What is the error message you get when trying to play them?

error message is UNEXPECTED ERROR PROCESSING THE ZIP FILE 0X00000200
C:DOCME~1\ROBERT~1\LOCALS~1\TEMP\QPTRSZ86\AUOT.ZZZ

Hmm - there's a problem alright - but I can't quite get to the bottom of it yet.
I had a look at a folder full of kma files that have the normal brand ID in front & the vast majority played fine. In fact I found there was just one disc that had the ID KJPP02 that showed up in MS as UNKNOWN ARTIST & TITLE.
In this case I was able to replicate your error message.
I thought the disc ID was incorrect anyhow so I renamed thes files KPP02.
I can't remember whether they played or not now - as I tried lots of things.
After renaming them I used Songverter to move and convert them into zip files. I then directed MS to this new folder & found the renamed zip files played fine.
I kept moving them and converting them so much I just ended up utterly confused!! I also found other strange behaviour - like tracks being added to the Playlist but only showing a time length of 30 sec!! Consequently they only played for 30 sec However using refresh or reselecting the default folder and then adding the same tracks to the playlist would result in them being added with the correct length of time - go figure!!
So long story short - I am also experiencing some problems.

Question:
How old/fast is your PC and are your files on a local disc or external usb??

Sam and Mike,
I just checked my temp file area and found the same thing. However the auout files were dated back in May so those can't be Songverter leftovers. However all should keep in mind that anything in the Temp directory is just that...temporary, so deleting those files should not cause any problems. If a program looks for a file in the temp directory and doesn't find it, it will go back to original location and either add it to temp again or play from the original.
Wouldn't be a bad idea though for MTU to look at the latest updates and see if any temp files can be deleted when the program closes to help prevent problems.
