Hi again. Thanks for all the replies. Did a bit more experimenting. Tried what jadeclaw suggested again. After using the RH10 to format the disc, I did a sync record of a 20 track CD. After the CD stopped, there only 18 tracks on the MD, and track 18 was only a partial recording. I tried to record another track (sync record). It started recording all to the end. Stopped the recording and the RH10 went into "Data Save" mode....for more than 5 mins. Quietly purring. Press STOP...nothing....Press all buttons...no response. Tried ejecting...it was locked. Finally pulled out the battery. I put the disc back and only the initial 18 tracks were there. Took out a unused 74 min MD. Did a sync record of the same CD...Twice. All the tracks recorded....almost 40 tracks...last few of the 2nd group were cut off due to lack of space. Play back fine too. Actually I have not had problems with unused standard MDs so far for recording or data storage. Its only these 2 that had recordings from the old R30 unit that gave problem. Not a big problem since I am keeping my other recordings and will only use unused blanks. BTW the 2 problem discs are Sony 74 mins. The other standard MDs are TDK 74 and Sony 60. Sorry for the long post. Thought I would share my experience.

Hi, I just got an RH10 unit recently and experimenting with transferring my old MD collections to Hi-MD. I was using a 74min disc that contained recordings using my old MD MZ-R30. Formatted the disc using Sonicstage to Hi-MD, proceeded with recording with RH10. An error occured at the end, the "data saving" took much longer and the disc remained blank. Repeated this a few times and the same happened. I thought the disc was faulty (first encounter!). Took another disc with MD recordings, used the RH10 to reformat. Disc checked out fine. Started recording...bam! Error saving. The RH10 was locked in this loop, couldnt stop, couldnt disconnect from USB. Couldn't open case. In the end I yanked out the USB cable, pulled out the battery. Finally got the disc out. Reloading the same disc, it was empty. I decided to reformat the disc using Sonicstage to MD, put the disc into the old R30. Tried recording a CD via optical input. Disc was still empty at the end of the recording. Anyone experience this? Now I have 2 useless 74min, which I will probably take apart for fun.

Maybe you can check the setting for transfering files. Under advanced setting..check "leave files on disc"? As for reading copied files, think Sonicstage doesn't like that all.

Hi, its my first time posting here. I got my RH10 a few weeks ago. I've been trying out the various functions of the unit and Sonicstage. Indeed Sonicstage is annoying with that aspect of MP3 transfer. While you can convert all your files from MP3 to Atrac 132, SS will still transfer as MP3 128. Very silly lowest denominator rule. As you said earlier, you probably have to bulk convert the files and move the orginal files. Some suggestions here. You could place all the MP3 file in one folder. Convert. Rename the folder. That should force SS to use the converted files. One point of note, apparently you can scan the folder with the converted files and SS will "import" those files. From Menu>File>Inport>Scan folder. Don't know how this helps. Why would you want to get a Nano for her? After all you would need to do all the transfering (albiet possibly faster) while she is over....what you wanted to avoid Maybe give her the RH10...????
