Got a problem that needs fixing before Saturday! I'm currently using Numark Cue 7.0.2 on a Late 2008 13" unibody Macbook. The OS is Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). The processor is 2.4GHZ DualCore with 8GB of RAM. I'm using the Video Adapter to send graphics and video to an external monitor.
I've got a custom library of Mp3+Gs in a folder called KARAOKE that I've copied over from my Windows XP laptop. There's approximately 15,000 titles in there, and all of them work with the PC version of Numark Cue.
When I first launch Cue on the MacBook and start searching for songs, several of the karaoke titles appear in the list of files. I can drag one or more onto the different audio players (I use a 4-deck skin that came with the program). But, after I begin playing one or more of the tracks, when I go to do another search, the search will no longer display karaoke titles. In fact, if I type in the same title or artist that I originally typed and saw karaoke results with, they no longer appear.
Sometimes if I click on the actual subdirectory with karaoke files in it, they will appear in the results, but eventually that stops working too. I can manually search the directory using Mac's Finder and drag and drop the zip file on a player, and it will play, but that's not really the way it's supposed to work. Plus it messes up the real estate on my display to have a cue window minimized while I search through finder.
To confirm, I have tried Add to Search DB on the Karaoke folder multiple times, including each subdirectory, and Show Karaoke is checked. I have confirmed the read/write properties on the Numark Cue directory in Documents and the zip decoder is mapped under codecs.
Can you please provide a fix asap? I'm trying to avoid taking two separate laptops to my gig on Saturday. The MacBook should be powerful enough to do everything on one!
Thanks,

On a Mac, this problem can occur with the browser if you have too many ZIP files within the same folder.
For most KJ's this is not a problem because the files are usually organised into folders by disk number (E.g: /Karaoke/Sunfly/SF123, /Karaoke/Sunfly/SF124, etc.)
NOTE: With today's large hard drives, zipping is not really necessary.
