Hi everyone I've had this problem since the day I got my HD3, and I've finally had enough! The problem I have is that when SonicStage converts a file into Atrac3Plus (regardless of bitrate), the track split is half a second early. This happens on every single track. So at the beginning of every track, you have the final half a second of the previous song, and I'm sure you can imagine this is quite annoying. I've included a sample so that you can hear for yourselves exactly what I mean, and what an annoyance it is. http://s64.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3MAMXFM...CH3IW8RR0TVJ6WL I've had this problem with every edition of SonicStage I've tried (2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and now 3.4). I use Windows XP, but had the same problem using Windows 98, and have had the same problem on three different computers. The early track splits occur both when copying straight from CD to atrac or when converting an existing file to atrac. However, if I copy a cd to wav using SS the track splits are correctly positioned - so I know it is neither my cd drive nor sonic stage's importing. The problem comes from the actual conversion stage. If anyone can help me solve this problem I would be hugely greatful! Thanks Tom
