as i said alrady...if it's the computer there is nothing i can do about it. I asked for an alternative program...but since u r so interested in the capabilities of the soft and hardware of the comp. i'm using then i'll tell u quickly.... it's win.xp.pro 2.79 gh 512 ram....blah blah blah .... the problem is that it has a good security feature. It is located in my university (u know public comp) so all modifications get restored after reboot (i don't have admin. passes). However in the meantime i download 3mb of music in 2 seconds (great internet connection...t1 prob.) and i want to record that onto my minidisc. Now sonic stage prompts me to restart (i can't) however it still functions without reboot after the installation... overall i hate the way sonic stage is set up b/c it will not recognize some music files that are not mp3 or wav I HATE THAT. (but that's not the point...i just think it's a crapy program) by all means... ur opinion is valid...i'm a bad user and the computer is not configured to meet the expectations of a computer guru...but i don't want to deal with that...i'd rather find an ALTERNATIVE. (that was fun.... 2 tests 2morrow so that got some negative energy out) if you have an alternative to your beloved sonic stage. Please share.

I think m3u2sb urner is a posible alternative....I found some posts on it on your website...but really it as well as insturctions for it are located here http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/paolose/instructions.htm however it's not for noobs (so i have no idea how to use it) If someone can give me a link to better instructions..even within this forum, I would greatly appreciate it Thanx also if this helps someone...I got from http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~jaydee/ "Net MD recording woes I was getting "recording session has failed" when using Simple Burner and wasn't able to record stuff onto my MZN-505. Tried searching the Web and found that many people seemed to be having the same problem, but the solution was nowhere to be found. Well, I've found it Seems to be a problem with XP's USB stuff. If you wander along to microsoft there's a non-essential USB update. Get it and your woes will disappear. Peace out y'all."

perhaps someone can still move back to the original topic...yes some of u think sonic stage is good,...i think it's crap (*yay, 2day is the 1st time it crashed*) so i am looking for an ALTERNATIVE anything really...all i want is to download music in mp3 format and transfer it to my minidisc. Withouth "failed 2 transfer to device/media" notices...or "failed 2 exchange encription key" (got a new battery fixed that) (if it is OS maintenance then all the help on this forum is of little use 2 me..since i cannot reboot my computer ...college comp....good connection...but everything is lost after reboot) Please...someone....... recommend an alternative to SS, and md simple burner...which as far as i know only burns from a cd.
