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.

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.
