Hi DSP, Can you see the drive using windows explorer? If you can then what about trying to use one of the non-sonicstage utils to transfer mp3 files. Great idea and Good Luck.

You might get help from mccourtyboy see here http://www.atraclife.com/forums/index.php?...1528&st=180 he seems to be looking at exactly the same thing. Good Luck!!! (Well same from the point of Firmware/Rockbox but using the HD5 instead of A3000 but there are bound to be similar issues)

I wondered about that - but with seeing the artist name etc I focused too much on other potential problems - cheers I have even greater flexibility now.

Hi Vovo - I have 2 HD5 players - the one I was testing was set up on another computer when I used the one set up on Gym test computer it worked fine sound, transfer, the lot - great!!! so not a W98 problem. I might have created the Gym setup using the wrong player but it showed all the files artist details etc no problem on the second player so I assumed it would work - unless it is something to do with how it was recorded on SS on the other computer?? DRM?? Thanks for input all johno4485 Happier now.

I created 5000 keygen files, the files on the HD5 are mixed Atrac and mp3, I realise Atrac can not be transferred - perhaps I will try and clear everything off and start from scratch unless anyone else has any ideas. Johno4485

Yes both in same directory as Gym Johno4485

No - just a message at the bottom left corner saying 'decoding' when trying to play a track which disappeared when the mouse was moved around - also although the play button changed when selected there was no visual progress marker to show how far the track was playing. When saving there was nothing unusual or any error messages at all - just brief disc activity presumably as it created the folders - just no files. Johno4485

Hi - I have worked my way through the setup for earlier versions and have tried 1.12 (fairly sure have followed instructions to install .net and keygen) but get same problem in all - I can see tracks on my HD5 in Gym, both atrac and mp3 but neither will play - no sound at all - also when trying to save selected or all files I just end up with empty folders - I read someone else had a similar problem but didnt see any clear answer to it. I have W98 and plenty of disc space on Dell350 - any ideas what the problem is?? johno8845
