Okay, after one has ripped their music to SonicStage, you can *convert* the songs from ATRAC3 to ATRAC3Plus. This is done so by right-clicking your selected songs (within a Group) and clicking "Convert File..." Question: After this has been completed, how do I then *require* (a/k/a Force) Sonicstage to select the ATRAC3Plus version of the song for copying to my device? It seems that after I've done this Conversion, I have more than one copy of the song, and Sonicstage selects the ATRAC3 version automatically for copying to my device. GRRRR. please advise. cheers bretheren(and sisters).
