Yes if you rename with the same title it doesn't save it. I just delete the last letter or something save, then put it back in again. But like I say this is really irritating, especially as it's not just the track titles, but group titles, artist titles on every track and album titles...

A few days ago I picked up another pair of NC11A In-Ear Noise Cancelling 'phones to replace the ones that died last year. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the store I bought them at offered a 2 years extended warranty at no extra charge. (If I have some time I'll maybe do a pictorial of these if anyone is interested).

I am glad you brought this up. I am having a similar issue on my Onkyo X-B8. I think something has changed in SS 4.0 in the way the titles are written as I have only had this issue since I upgraded. I've noticed the titles show up fine on all my MD Walkmans but on the Onkyo are garbled. I have found a couple of workarounds: 1/ Before wrtiting the disc, in Sonic Stage use the Intialize Disc (Device / Media Info) option in the bottom right of the transfer window to format the disc through Sonic Stage. After doing this the titles show up ok. However the main drawback of this is you can only write discs in one session as anything appended in a later session will have the same issue. Which can be difficult on 1GB discs. 2/ The other workaround is to write the disc using Simple Burner. If you want 352k or cover art or something I use Sonic Stage but then have to retitle them in Simple Burner which is also time-consuming. I am thinking of raising this with Sony as it is starting to annoy me... * Moved to software discussion

Hi Dif - sorry perhaps I was not entirely clear - the upload to WAV in SS ((like the Wav Convertor before it) is only really for Hi-MD tracks like Greenmachine says - unless you have the newer RH1 model which to date is the only model which can upload legacy recordings.

Hi there - the WAV convertor became obsolete with Sonic Stage 3.x onwards as you now have the same functionality in the core SS application - the ability to converted tracks recorded in Atrac on your unit to WAV when uploading.

What I'm looking for Greg is a fairly large capacity with, small footprint and fairly fast. It's going to be used almost exclusively for running VPC images for demo's. A friend of mine has a similar external drive that he picked up in Japan. Basically an enclosure with power supply and sata cables / pcmcia interface with a sata drive mounted inside. It will be used with a couple of different laptops - one has an internal sata drive already the other an ata-100 - both at 5400rpm.

This is definitely interesting. I am in the market for another external hardrive for mobile use and would like to go for an external SATA II drive with a PCMCIA adaptor (something like this )- you know much about these Greg? - Or anyone else for that matter.

At the moment I'm just using the inbuilt filter in Thunderbird. When I was using Outlook Express I had very good experiences with PopFile. It is very flexible and takes a bit of setup but is very powerful. For Spyware and other stuff I use Spybot S&D and Spyware Blaster.

I'm afraid that is indeed the case... (but as someone else probably already said you could get an NH3D/DH10P instead of either the EH50 or EH1 which would have USB - or get a DS-HMD1 and have it attached to your computer)

2nd that. The system info changing error is I'm pretty sure due to an over zealous registry cleaner tool. We've had issues like this in the past. Disable it asap (or at least stop it deleting Sony related keys).

If I import a WAV (either from a cd or from the file system) and do a manual convert format to 192, if I examine the properties of the track I will see both files. The WAV in the original location and the Atrac version (in the library but physically in the Optimized Files folder). I can delete the WAV via the track properties and am left with the atrac. Here I can use the move file dialogue to move the Atrac file that is left into the same location as the original WAV. I can then click the next button to move on the to the next track and repeat the process. As far as I'm aware you don't actually need to re-import at any stage.

Sure - I can understand the move file process to move the converted version into a different folder, but I couldn't figure out why he needed to re-import. Maybe I was just mis-reading what he had wrote. No worries.

Unfortunately NetMD devices cannot be upgraded via firmware to support Hi-MD technology. You may want to look into something like the DS-HMD1 as an additional peripheral. Not as elegant as an internal MD drive for sure but as yet a Hi-MD internal drive has not been built. http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=10249

Just curious - after you have conveted a WAV track to 192 and you delete the WAV file the Atrac version should already be in the library. (assuming you deleted the WAV via the Track Properties dialogue) Why do you need to import it again manually from optimized files? Am I missing something?

No - I'm not advising System Restores - indeed the exact opposite. I just thought that might be what was causing some of these problems as I see a lot of messages about system info changing. Are you by any chance using some system utils that clean the registry as SS is definitely not happy about something in there...

I think a lot of the issues you are experiencing Dogville are unfortunately due to the environment Sonic Stage is running in. Are you doing system restores in Windows? I only ask as this is the second error you have reported relating to the system information changing or something very similar?

Unfortunately it is a hardware issue in the sense that the NetMD drive won't be forward compatible with the new Hi-MD devices and format Hi-MD discs. The DH10P can read legacy discs, but you won't be able to store photos for example to NetMD formatted discs.
