Okay, here's what I did / experienced since I posted the first time: 1) Uninstalled all the Sonic Stage and OpenMG Stuff including regedit 2) Downloaded and installed Real Player Gold 10, added NetMD Devices and got told that it only works if I had OpenMG Jukebox 2.2 installed...great 3) So I reinstalled SS2.3; now Real Player found my device, although it doesn't seem to support the group system as SS does>> crappy Anyway that doesn’t matter because I can't record any music at all with RealPlayer. It just tells me that I might not have enough space in the disc or the music format (mp3) might be wrong....greato. :whatever: 4) Frustrated I once again tried SS and now recording seems works fine, only that the fuckn squeeky sounds are still there....HELP!!!! ... please :happy: Btw, I read somewhere in the forums that codecs might cause problems and as I got some different ones installed I just want to check if that could cause the problem. Here are the codes I've installed: ffdshow (video codecs like divx, xvid and stuff) dBpowerAMP music converter with a few codecs for special formats I'm sure i had ffdshow installed even before I got my NetMD Device so that shouldn't be the problem, but I'm not quite sure about the music converter.

Okay, here's my problem in "short": On a cold and foggy automn day I wanted to put some new songs on my MZ-N505. Until that day no problem at all, i just used the OMG Jukebox that was given to me togethter with the N505. But then, while converting the first MP3 OMG froze at about 70%..... i closed the task and teried and retried...... In the end i reinstalled OMG Jukebox and tried again..same prblem, froze at 70%. Then i found this board, deinstalled OMG Jukebox according to the FAQ and installed Sonic Stage 2.2 I again ried to put one of the new MP3s on the N505 and it...WORKED!!!!! I was so happy that i immediatley listened to it, only to notice that the sound quality was really bad (some funny sqeesh-noises). And i am a 100% sure that the original MP3 file hasnt got that noises in it! I then tried to put some other songs on (10 at a time).... the first one worked fine, the second one was converted a 100% but the third one stopped converting at 20% and the program froze (100% CPU in taskmager, just like with OMG Jukebox). SO WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH MY MDplayer OR COMPUTER????? I'm kinda frutsrated here..... :whatever: Btw, here are my system infos: WIndows XP Professional SP2 ( all of he newest updates) AMD Athlon 2200+ Sonic Stage 2.2 Sony Net MD MZ-N505 R-Type I hope someone here can help me..... i need my music to get through the day alive. :happy:
