I am very new to this Sonic Stage ATRAC3 Plus system so I ask your forgiveness for posting very basic questions to this forum. I have just purchased a Sony NW-E407 Flash Memory and will be using it to play ripped songs from my CD collection. My desire is to use good quality sound reproduction but not necessarily near CD quality. Before posting this enquiry, I have searched this Forum (and the Sony website) for a solution to my specific problem but without success. The confusing area for me is as follows:- If I specify an ATRAC3 Plus bit rate when copying from a CD to my Sonic Stage Library on my PC under “Music Source”, should I then use the same bit rate (or as near as possible) under “Transfer ATRAC Audio Device” when copying the music file to my Sony flash card device? I gather that I would need to use “Settings” and “Specified bit rate transfer mode” to achieve this and not the default “Standard Transfer Mode”. Could I ask what is a good bit rate to select for both of these operations for good quality sound? I am not really interested in getting the maximum number of song files onto my flash card although the actual copying time could become of significance. One other thing while I am in silly question mode; although I can change the song titles in “My Library”, no matter what I do, I am not able to save the changes permanently. I have noticed that I am able to change a song name when I have just imported a song from a CD and change the name immediately before copying the song to my Sony Flash Memory but this only saves the altered name on the flash card not in my library. I would be most grateful for any assistance. Many thanks in advance. Stan’s Fan.
