marcintouch Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Well, just a quick note to let Mac users know... SonicStage 3 and whatever drivers it installs STILL do not work with VirtualPC on Mac OS X, either with XP Pro or Win2K. I suspect it isn't a Windows problem, but a VirtualPC problem, because while Virtual PC "sees" that a "Net MD Walkman" is attached via USB, it can't seem to route that device to VirtualPC. You can select it, but it doesn't stick.Oh, well. Back to the PC at home.marcintouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Thanks for the note, and welcome to the forums. How far do you get with SS3 before it croaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcintouch Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Running VirtualPC 7 on a dual 2GHz G5 tower, SS3 downloaded and installed just fine on both my WinXPPro and Win2K "virtual" installations, and also ran on both, running substantially faster on Win2K, by the way.Plugging in a Sony MZ-N707 makes the device show up in VirtualPC's USB Devices list as a "NetMD Walkman," and you can select it as a USB device that you want VirtualPC to control, but nothing happens, and the next time you check your USB settings, that device is un-checked again.Opening SS3's options reveals no NetMD Walkman, and hovering the mouse over the big "Transfer" button at the top of the screen only gives you the option to burn CDs. Bugger.I didn't actually try to play any music, because I was too disappointed. :-)One question -- does anyone know what the purpose/utility of Sony's MP3 Converter software is? Doesn't SS usually take care of transcoding music as ATRAC? I'm curious...marcintouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
