Thanks for your help CD-R Writing Module is already listed in "About SonicStage" popup , with version 2.3.00.1120 is that version ok ? could it be another audio codec interfering with this module ? I have seen on Sony site that default setting of CD Recording Format is ATRAC3 132kbps (it appears on "Recording" popup) maybe other formats are not allowed for netmd ? anyway, the problem occurs even when my netmd is not connected to my laptop. By clicking "Parameters" button on this popup, "CD Recording Format 'My Library)" popup shows up, but it is completly blank. same problem with Tools/Options/ CD Recording / Recording Format/ Select Format" too (it opens the same blank popup). The problem is that I 'm able to import and burn individual files on my NetMd with SonicStage, but I can't import a whole cd into library at once. Format conversion of imported files works (I can choose between 3 diifferent bit rates for ATRAC3). SimpleBurner does'nt work at all , since it accepts CDs or image files only.
