MiKE.

I formatted using windows explorer and didn't have a problem, this resolved the issue but I no longer have music.. the software works fine though and I can transfer any new music back on (I don't want to do this). I am currently copying the backup of the OMGAUDIO file back onto my device so I can try the solution you suggested. MiKE.

Thanks Juli, I found formatting the device by right clicking in my computer and doing a complete format has resolved my problem (after completely reinstalling sonictstage). I have backed up all my devices information as I have around 4,500 atrac files. I will try the method you suggested and report back. MiKE.

Just recently I have not been able to use SonicStage 4.3 CP as within around 3 seconds of the program starting an error message; "Omgjbox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Appears, this only occurs when my NW-A3000 Device is attached. I have referred to alot of forum posts regarding a Microsoft Windows Hotfix; KB840987 however I am running Windows XP on Media Center, so none of these posts bare any relevance to my problem. I cannot install the fix from the Microsoft Website as I am running SP2. I have taken the following steps to try and resolve this issue, none have proved successful; - Completely restoring and reformatting my system. - Uninstalling SonicStage 4.3 CP and removing all registry values. - Uninstalling OpenMG Modules I do not know why this problem is repeatedly occuring but would appreciate any response to this post. PLEASE HELP!!!! Below are my system specs: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center. AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile 1022 MB RAM DirectX 9.0c Nvidia Geforce 7200 Go. Thanks! MiKE.

you have it all wrong

The problem occurs after about a third of the songs have been transferred, i'm not sure whether windows is executing the program or what.. Originally (before I purchased a new NW-A3000) I had my entire CD collection + a friends on my device! I wouldn't say that ATRAC3 66KB/S conversion decreases sound quality at all.. I am transferring in segments now.. it's just very annoying I want to be able to leave the software converting without having to sit inside spending ages transferring them. Like I said before, I want to take advantage of what I see to be a great Mp3 player! If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to post them Thanks for your feedback anyway! MiKE.
