MZ-NH1 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hi, I have a MZ-NH1, and use to use the 80 min disks, but now I am using the 1GB Discs, and for some reason, when transferring some songs through SS 2.2, it says - "converting" but this only takes bout 5 seconds, and then it transfers to MD in about 5 seconds. I then look at "Length" and it has 00:00 :|, I think go to the folder where the file was converted to and the file size whenever this happens is below 1mb :| When transferring across, it goes; 1-54% then pauses for about 2 seconds then goes straight to 100% all the time! When this happens, the file is never converted. I have just tried putting 4 albums across, and none have worked :@ :'( I have tried all this using a 80min disc as well, and get the same problem I yes I have formatted the discs before transferring onto them. Should I try and use Marc's tool, to convert the normally .wav or .mp3 file to a different file type before trying to convert it? What I am asking, is has anyone had this problem? Because it transfers the files across, says it's fine, but the file doesn't play because its length is 00:00. I also get another problem where it goes, "Cannot find the file path"!!!! So I delete all those files, re-import them, and transfer them to my Hi-MD, and sometimes still get he same problem! Please help me! And YES, I have followed the uninstall guide for SS, about 1 month ago. And it didn’t fix the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I think I have just figured out why they might not be transferring to the MD. I have clicked on 1 of the files that can't be transferred, and it says, "this track can't be edited due to right protection". If I were to edit/save this track using Audacity, do you think the problem would be solved, and I would then be able to transfer the music files across?

dex Otaku Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 What format are the files you're trying to transfer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Some of them are .wav and some are .mp3 I have noticed that the files I am transferring that don't transfer, when I right click on them go properties, it says they are read only files and can't be edited. So I will try to open them using Audacity, and change them there. And report back to see if it has worke3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I noticed this myself when I still owned my N10... however, instead of transferring, the tracks would just refuse to transfer, claiming I did not have the rights to transfer them. Basically, UselessStage is suspicious of any MP3 with its header not at 0 bytes, I believe. By opening the file in Adobe Audition and saving it as a WAV, I was able to escape this issue. Some stranger wav files would also refuse to transfer, like those that had been tagged by fb2k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 It turns out, that if I do save the file as a .mp3 through Audacity, it is then able to be transferred to my MD. The thing is, I must have 200+ songs that I will need to do this to!!!! Does anyone know of a faster way? Atm, I have to load the song (20secs, then save the song, 30secs....)

Latexxx Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Create audio cd images and mount them using daemon tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Could you explain how to do that in a bit more detail please Latexxx I don’t really understand what you mean. Do you just mean for me to burn the files to an Audio CD, and then copy them back to the PC in .mp3 fomat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latexxx Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 No. Create an image file of an audio cd, mount it using daemon tools (don't burn it), and rip directly to atrac using SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
