  1. I just found an easier way around this.

    I used mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/)), and without having to modify any of the ID3 tags, all I have to do is load the files and save the tags. I'm assuming this works because this forces mp3tag to re-save all the main tag info without all the unnecessary crap, lyrics, etc.

  2. FIXED!

    I've managed to solve the problem on my PC with the "broken" MP3s that causes SS to crash!

    What I did is copied the suspect MP3s into one folder and then changed the ID3 tag on each of them in one way, shape or form. For example, I removed comments, genres, corrected spelling, even added a "0" to the track number if there was no track number. After doing this I could happily import them back into SS without the program even whinging!

    I couldn't find any conneciton between all of them though, other than that they were all the most recently encoded MP3s in my collection (Encoded in the same way that I have done for a couple of years now, I might add). Many were from the NME Essential Bands album, but two of them were mixes that I'd done as well, so they certainly weren't part of any double CD compilation.

    What I also find strange is that all of these MP3s were happily accepted by SS3.2 before I installed SS3.4 :huh:

    Anyway, anyone who has this problem should try the solution I've laid out above. To make things easier, use ID3 Tag-It to batch-edit your ID3 tags.

    Yeah, I found out if I remove the ID3v2 tags, then they work just fine. The v1 tags don't seem to effect the files. I just did a clean format and before any codecs were installed, I tried the importing and they were still crashing SS 3.4.

    I just tried removing just the genres and comments but they're still crashing SS. I dont think SS checks for spelling :P

  3. Hi I was looking at one of these systems here: http://www.yodobashi.com/enjoy/more/produc...9/39276489.html

    Preferably something on that list, but it doesnt matter. I wasn't sure which one to get though. Do any of those stand out? Or are there any that I should avoid? I was thinking about getting the CMT AH10. I messed around with the regular MD version a week ago and it seems pretty cool especially with the moving front panel for inserting MDs.

    Thanks.

  4. Hi, I've used an MZ-N1 for a few years now and I'd like to upgrade since it started making wierd noises recently and skipping. I've been looking around and I think HiMD looks interesting. I'm not certain which models I should look at though. I use my MDs mostly for recording audio from the computer (so I need a recorder) and portable listening. I did a little searching and found the MZ-RH10 but the remote seems to have no LCD screen from the pictures I could see and that's a big part of it for me.

    Right now, I'm in Taiwan for a couple of weeks and I could buy something here, but I should be headed to Japan over the summer so if anything new is coming out and worth waiting for, I could get it then.

    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Also, why is everything here so centered on Sony systems when there are many other companies producing MD players too?

  5. It seems that SS does not accepts 160kbps coded music files (e.i. mp3). I`ve the same problem, and after transcode files to 128 kbps the problem was gone. Try to get lame.exe for decode mp3s to wav and encode them back to mp3 with different params. Sometimes lame returns header (or something) errors. Then you should to decode mp3s to wav using madplay.exe - it does all work without errors. When you got your wav file, encode it into mp3 back with 128 kbps with -h param on (higher quality). In the end try to import resampled mp3 to SS again - it should work.

    You can import wav file also, but it reduces your hdd space by 10 ).

    Thanks, but I don't think that's it. Some of the files are 192/320kbps and I found out that if I remove the ID3v2 tags, they import fine. I still can't figure out how to fix the problem though.

  6. Hi, I've tried searching and looking through the last few pages but I couldn't find the answer.

    I'm using Windows XP and I disabled MP3 on ffdshow like suggested.

    I have a folder I'm trying to import and when I scan folder, it crashes. I was able to import 3/4s of the mp3s in the folder by importing 1 file at a time, but several of them make SS3.4 crash as soon as I try to import. It's mostly Japanese music, but I made sure there was no japanese in the ID3 tags or the filenames. I've also tried changing the region and running it with applocale but that doesnt seem to work either (I was able to import a few files with Kanji in the title so that seemed to work fine). I'm not sure what the problem is with these few files, though, I seem to have the same trouble on my desktop computer.
