Well.. don't mean to argue, but: I never had any problems with K-lite interfering with SonicStage in the matter of codecs. Except one time, when I've set gain in audio mixer (it was Matrix Mixer if memory server me right) and music to my MD was loud and distorted. Besides that and this last problem everything was always working just right. Also, the refresh problem doesn't seem to interfere with the functionality of SonicStage - I am able to send music, organize it, even use the menus pressing alt (they drop down from beneath the window that covers them). So, everything works fine, except for that little inconvenience.. As for now I found another way to transfer music to my MD - the "Nero-ImageDrive-SimpleBurner" combo. Just the same for me, as in SonicStage I imported only music files that I wanted t have on my MD - never entire music collection. SimpleBurner isn't so picky about other programs Cheers!
