  2. Sonic stage problem or problem with my music?

    in Minidisc

    Posted

    Thanks Avrin for the SonicStage 4.3 "Ultimate"

    But some tracks are not transferring to the MD though. I think its the problem with the bitrate, some tracks reads 320/k in properties. But when I go into the file info for that track in SonicStage the bitrate is something like 177/k, 189/k looks like very irregular form. Weird! I think I need to convert them into the regular bitrate e.g 128/k, 256/k etc. Is there any good free license software to batch converts? Not one of those free trial software that locks itself after XX converts or XX days unless you pay.

    Thanks : )

  3. Sonic stage problem or problem with my music?

    After all these months getting my MD's working again. More problems once again, but this time it seems to be Sonic Stage or there are problems with my tracks. I have reinstalled Sonic Stage 2.0 after removing the 4.3 version because no other versions seems to work for on this computer. Everything was fine importing tracks to the Sonic Stage library. When I transfer the tracks to the MD, everything was fine, converted without errors and transferred successfully. After finishing transferring, here is when the problem starts. Half of the tracks played fine but the other half sounded a but weird. It sounded like a DJ scratching vinyl, constantly squeaking randomly and the track speeds up and slows down.

    Has anyone encountered this weird problem?

    Is there any solution solving this? These tracks are the same tracks that I had on the Disc before and worked perfectly before I erased the Disc and started putting the tracks into the Disc all over again.

    Thanks everyone for helping me out for all these months trying to sort out this problem : )

    After months of trial and error.

    Finally I tried M.A.L.'s solution and it did worked for me. Cheers M.A.L. : )

    While everyone thought it was a software problem all along, it turns out to be a mechanical problem.

    Now both HI-MD's are erased.

    Now it's time to put some music into it : )

    Cheers everybody : )

    This might be a long shot, but if you can try to get hold of some old pre-2000 MD equipment, either decks or portables, and try the disc erase function on those.

    I think pre 2000 MD equipment don't recognise Hi-MD discs.

    Is Net-MD a different format from Hi-MD? I could as well discard the Hi-MD discs that I have if I could erase tracks on on normal MD's. I just don't want to waste another minidisc, I got them years ago when they were not cheap.

    A software solution is the best I think.

    Since my last post, I have tried various ways to erase the Hi-MD disc. Still no luck either, I've tried loading the tracks on SS and tried to transfer the tracks on to the PC, doesn't work at all. Is there a program or any program that can bypass this and erase the whole disc?

    Open the cover, there should be a small prong that goes into the write protect area, it may be stuck.

    Good luck

    Bob

    No hope either.

    Damn!

    On my MZ-RH710 there are two options in the unit's menu;

    1) Erase 1, All

    2) Format

    If you only want to delete a couple, the unit sometimes disables because of the link with Sonicstage (grr). Tracks recorded with the unit aren't affected just those via SS. The unit will allow you to format, but then you lose the other tracks.

    In SS have you tried transferring back rather than deleting? Its tempting now to delete because they've removed the limit, but sometimes you still need to check-in the tracks when you just want to do the odd couple.

    Track recorded with line-in is also affected. I can record through line in, but i can't delete the track afterwards.

    I have tried to transferring back the tracks with SS and no hope either, same message disc protected.

    I have tried all sorts ways to ways to erase the disc.

    Yesterday I went into my computer and in the MD disc drive I managed to un check the read only tab and deleted the folder. It worked, all the tracks were erased.

    But then I don't know why when I when I went back to see if the files are still in the disc. I found even more folders contain in the MD. I tried to un check the read only tab again and delete the files. This time it won't let me do it.

    No luck either.

    Disc is write protected again. I think it has some sort of a backup thing.

    Any ideas anyone?

    I have been using the MZ NH-900 for years and I never had any problems.

    Today I wanted to remove a few tracks and put a few new ones in which I always do using SonicStage.

    An message popped up saying The device/media is write protected.

    I checked the write protect tab and it was ok.

    All the tracks can be played without any problem

    I tried to format the disc but it keeps saying The device/media is write protected.

    I tried to delete the tracks using the player controls but it shows disc protected.

    I tried to record using the line in jack to see if I can record something on the disc and it recorded no problem but when I tried to delete the track, disc protected comes up again.

    I have also tried using another HI-MD disc which there a few tracks in it and its the same, cannot delete any tracks.

    Could anyone help?
