PS- I have managed to download OpenMG v2.2 thanks to a lot of time spent on phone support, to Sony. For anyone else who was having similar problems (my upload): Sony OpenMG Jukebox v2.2.10.07040 + Net MD Drivers English French German Italian http://rapidshare.com/files/183479802/Sony...box_2.part1.exe http://rapidshare.com/files/183523260/Sony...box_2.part2.rar[/code]

I think you've hit the nail on the head. I haven’t been keeping up-to-date with the Sony software, since moving to the i-river with it's drag and drop system. So when I used OMG to create a backup, I just assumed I could download OpenMG v2 again and everything would be fine. I'll just tell the old man that it was my fault and I accidently deleted all the files and they could not be recovered. Thanks for all your help. George

Sorry my question is a bit convoluted, I am not sure if I am following the procedure for the file conversion correctly. When I run the File Conversion utility I am told that “The Tracks in the current database do not need to be converted”. The .omg files are associated with SS When I open the file and SonicStage executes I get a dialogue box citing "SonicStage (00002460-2107 Cannot load the rights information for the selected tracks. The file format may not be supported by SonicStage (0000010d)" Could this mean the tracks are corrupted?

I have recently reformatted my dads PC, which was a hand-me-down from myself many years ago. Back in the old days I used to have a MD and used OpenMG v2.0, but this was replaced by an i-river. My dad who is not IT literate in any way, would have been stuck with OpenMG popping up when a CD was inserted asking him if he wanted to convert it to ATRAC, which he did, even though he would have never used it in a sony portable device. Now my problem is that I thought I could just back up his music using OpenMG, download it from the web and import ready from him to use again. This is not the case, as it seems that OMG is now SonicStage, which does not recognise the backed up files when imported. (Am using SS4.3) Is there a way around this? Thanks, George
