Disk ID# restrictions?
Hi,
I imported a custom assembly of track 15's that were muli protected. I gave the disk id# a value of 'Track15sV1' and subsequent discs had V2, V3, ect. After successful import I forgot about it without testing. At a later date I tried playing one of these songs in Hoster and got the red error label. After further investigation I determined all the songs that had the disk id# (listed above) were bad. I re-imported them with a different disk id# and they all worked. Just curious, but are there any naming covention restrictions with the disk id# and what would be wrong with the label above? Nothing about this in the Hoster manual that I could find. Thanks, T |

Re: Disk ID# restrictions?
If you can't find the Disk in the Database you will have to make a custom disk.
Using the "Customs" tab to import your songs, you should be able to use any reasonable short name you want in the BRAND field. I was lost for a name once so I used my initials. I think there are some characters you can't use, but using all letters and numbers should be OK. But the Book ID must be in numbers. I haven't tried it yet, but in Windows Explorer I believe you can rename the files, but you will have to update the Database. That is quicker than recording all over again. You can do a Find/Replace/All in Word. |

Turns out, the DiscID field allowed any alpha-numeric-symbol string with infinite length. That was a potential hazzard waiting to be discovered. ![]() In Hoster 2.214 we have limited the DiscID entry to 12 alpha-numeric characters. You can uses symbols at your own risk as to where they end up in the database... I'm not documenting all the possible conditions. Use alpha-numeric characters only for safety sake. ![]() |
