thanks for the feedback guys i have resorted to a longer process of converting my files into .omg thru realplayer one, saving the files on my hard drive, then adding the files to my library on sonicstage. The quality of the files are better, but the process is very tedious. I was wondering if there was any way we can change the mp3-decoder on sonicstage manually? (ie. replacing a .dll file or sumthing) or how about any external omg converter programs? thanks

hello everybody, im new to the forum here, but ive been a constant reader of minidisc.org for years. I was wondering if anyone else has had any trouble converting mp3s to their minidisc units with the sonic stage program. Before I purchased my Hi-MD unit, I was using RealPlayer One to transfer my music using the MZ-N505, but now that I am using sonic stage, I find that there are some songs that just destroy the bass on the track that has been transferred to the unit. The original mp3 file does not have this harsh bass sound, but I cannot seem to get rid of it using any bitrate on the MD unit. As well, when I play the mp3 file using sonicstage -without having a copy of the atrac file on the comptuer- the bass is also very harsh-sounding. Is there any way I can transfer my mp3 files to my Hi-MD unit without the horrible sound? Thanks
