SonicStage 4.3 Ultimate Edition

Is SonicStage Ver.4.3 available anywhere?

Forums don't seem to have realised (or if they have, not publicised anywhere I can find) that Sony have stopped hosting it in March on the grounds it wasn't built for Win7&8. An idiotic and disgraceful abandonment of their customers.

Announcement

For more information, please contact your local service centre. A list of the Sony service centres can be found in the Service Centres page.

Links and what I thought were full copies of SS 4.3 on my xp PCs are only downloader-installers only go searching for a Sony server that no longer exists.

UPDATE: I have managed to download it from

Now I only have have to see if it installs - and works on my new Windows7 64 bit laptop. Wish me luck.

First, thanks immensely for putting this file here. Why Sony couldn't have put a similar file for download on their support site when the server was shut down is beyond me... Customer disservice. The software runs just fine on Windows 7 64 bit. The only issue I had was that the included driver is the 32 bit driver. I had to install the 64 bit driver available elsewhere on this site, which I already knew about from having to find it for another W7 64 bit machine I had downloaded SS from Sony's site before they shut it down.

For some reason I got an error message about the driver not having started something (I didn't write the message down) when it loaded (via Device Manager), but when I tried it, it worked flawlessly, as does this version of SS.

The message about the broken link should be removed from the index and opening download page, the link works fine now.

Again, thanks for solving my very big problem.

I only use my Sony Mini Disc recorders (models MZ-N707, MZ-R700 and MZ-R70) to record live events - almost all classical choral music.

The SonicStage : 4.3.01.14050 that I downloaded works fine for playing back - BUT I still cannot transfer MY music (not someone else's copyright music uploaded from a CD, or a proprietory MD!) to my Windows XP Pro desk computer, so that I can edit it. I get a SonicStage (00001eea-891) error box that says "The device/media is write protected (Error code 0000664f)"

Am I missing something here, or is the situation unchanged: I have to play back the recording in real time and collect it from the earphone socket into my computer's recording software?

Is there a patch / fix / download that will let me do this?

Life would be wonderful

I recommend this for Vista 32 users.

Been messing around with an old OpenMG Jukebox (2.2) version and trying to get it to work with Vista 32 Home Premium for about 1 day and a half timewise, had one more workaround to try but gave decided to throw in the towel on that and try this instead - worked first time (only had to do .mp3 -> .wav workaround to transfer music and it worked).

F**king KUDOS!

Hello,
My computer crashed and he still had to make a complete recovery of the operating system. I do not have sonicstage. I downloaded but my turntable (mds-je980) is not recognized because the program fails sonicstage 4.3 ultimate edition by christopher. So I downloaded sonicstage 3.4.zip by SFBP but when I run the program, the following message appears: "you are logged on as a limited user account sonicstage Some functions are not available In order to sonicstage Have access to all functions.. you must log on to an account than as administrator or power user privilege. "Does anyone has a solution to the problem? I am running vista. Note that I have downloaded the drivers "NetMD Driver 64-bit Win7 or Vista" by SFBP.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Sincerely, gregorille.

Removed due to admin stubbornly not letting me delete my account when it serves no use for me anymore and stating that all conversation between that admin and me will be saved.

Only thing I can think of is to do a fresh install of Sonic Stage and make sure it's run with administrator rights as it installs.

I log in as administrator but my mds-JB980 is still not recognized.
But I downloaded the drivers for vista? ......

Hello,
Could you fix the link to download sonicstage 4.3 Ultimate Edition?
Thank you in advance.

very very tanks

thank you

thanks

Thank you very much SonyInsider.

SonicStage 4.3 Ultimate appears to be working as expected on my 32-bit Windows 7 environment.

And that after struggling with various alternative supposed SonicStage downloads on other sites, which did nothing except trying to install advertising software and, on one occasion, a virus.

This (4.3 Ultimate, downloaded from SonyInsider) would seem to be the one to go for.

I LOVE YOU!

ADD: Works perfect on my Win 7 64 after searching for days to get my old beloved MD to work

Thanks!

Seems to work fine with my four NW-HD5s on Vista Ultimate.Thank you very much.

ありがとうございます

Thanks

Very cool, thanks, now where there is no official download possibility any more.

I was shocked to discover that this works perfectly on Win7 x64 with my all-but-forgotten NW-S706F. Even the drivers! Thanks for putting this package together. I love that little music player so much and can't bring myself to part with it so being able to revive it is awesome.

Merci beaucoup! I can now use my MZ-N510 TYPE-S again.

from the original webite it says something about check internet connection but this works great thank you

Thanks a lot.

Word up. Thanks for the download.
