Thank you for your advice. Truly appreciated! Why can't the world of sony walkmans be made simpler........ It sucks to rip all the tracks again...... sigh.... Should've settled for an ipod back then

Hi everybody newbie in trouble.... LOL... hope you experts out there won't get turned off by the many similar pleas for help everyday... Recently upgraded my rig and reinstalled all my software, including SonicStage... previous software used was SonicStage 2.3. A trustworthy software IMHO which has provided reliable transfers between my walkman and PC for 3 years... No errors nothing... Alas, after the unintentional upgrade (do I have a choice?)... I'm stuck with this problem for 2 days... Now confused, disappointed, exasperated and balding (tearing my hair due to the stress)... Here's what i did: - SonicStage prompted me to reformat my walkman because of the incompatibility between the 2 software versions - Did a backup from Windows Explorer (copied and pasted the folder OMGAUDIO) - Deleted all my tracks from the player - Tried importing the backup tracks to my Library - Realized that I can neither play the songs from my Library, nor transfer the songs to my walkman... (Thought the files are the same?!?) *Please take a look at the printscreen for reference - Copied the entire backup folder back to the walkman folder via Windows Explorer - Experienced the following error in my walkman screen, "Mismatch in System Files". Cannot locate the files in my Walkman. - What's ironic is that SonicStage recognized the files in my walkman and can play them via the program... - Also tried transferring the files from my Walkman to my Library via SonicStage but failed. *please refer to the 2nd printscreen I've attached to see the error. So what should I do next? Any guidance and advice is truly appreciated.... Sorry for the trouble... PLZ HELP.... PLZ Regards Tim
