dex Otaku Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I got complacent tonight and transferred tracks without making the backup first. Lost 1 track. [1 of the 3 most important, out of about 35-40 tracks, on the disc]. SONY: YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR SOFTWARE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 To be frank, I didn't expect any improvement as the version info for the driver and the OMG module stayed the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Perhaps I was merely lucky for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandsun Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 What exactly do you mean by trashing tracks? So far the only problem I've had is that it refused to transfer one of my tracks. It went thru the whole process but at the end there was no file saved in my music library. Very annoying. I got the track in realtime/digital by just playing the track off the HiMD using SonicStage and directing the output thru a Virtual Audio Cable and recording it in Audacity.

Valder Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I'm just getting annoyed at the SS crashing ALOT, hanging up and just in general being a pain in the arse. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefbeef Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thanks for the update Dex- For me, this makes your real time upload method the only choice for material that just can't be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually that refused track isn't playable afterwards. Not even standalone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here had worked it out in theory before HiMD was even released to the public, and I simply wrote out some instructions on it. Which is why I'm proud of this place [MDCF] - I tell people that yes, I bought into what is essentially an emerging technology, a risk investment-wise, yes - but people here already had a workaround ready to go before the format was even released.

Well I uninstalled it according to the FAQ and then installed the new version of SS 2.2 and now I don't have the rights to transfer any of my saved Atrac files. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valder Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Nevermind guys....So long and thanks for the fish. I just gave up on this whole Hi-MD thing. Deleted SS again and all my saved Atrac albums. Gonna redo them all in MP3 and use a damn CD player. Look for a bargain basement sale in the Classified section over the weekend for a Sony MZ-600D, about 100+ MD blanks, 7 Hi-MD blanks and I'll get a few pics of my Pioneer Elite Homedeck and update my ad already there.

sxc Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 ^ I think the stability of SS has a lot to do with the state of your computer. I'm quite careful of limiting what is installed on my computer, and keeping it clean, and my SS 2.2 never crashes, never causes me problems.

This internet'community' made it possible to use my HiMD player the way I wanted to - where Sony almost lost another customer (Gosh, I do get irritated when I think of how they are supporting there clients!). I can now use my own mic-recordings, combine them with my photography and share them with friends through email. But I was close to Valder state-of-mind concerning HiMD! Very close. And back-on-thread, I had no serious SS crashes yet, but earlier I did report about a CD-player getting stuck using SS. And even the new CD-player in my laptop sometimes gives up using SS 2.X or SimpleBurner. :ohmy: Not reassuring. Albin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valder Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I may give it one more try, but I did everything to get back my files and make SS recognize me as the owner but it didn't work. As far as my PC this is my Photo and music machine...pretty spartan as far as installed programs. I never had a problem with the old Net MD and MP3s converted in SS.

Christopher Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Urgh, you didn't back up anything before you deleted everything? Err.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valder Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Nah I tend to get a bit irrational when I get ticked off. :wacky: Oh well...No biggie just a couple hundred CDs....I work at home so it won't take long to get them back in the PC as MP3s.
