Totally Confused

[BiPolarSounds]

Hello everyone. I wanted to post in the forum, because I always record live and in would be more regarding in here.

My model is: mz-nf710

Well, I wantyed to know (I doubt I can) cahnge the ATRAC to mp3 to record. Correct? My programs on my computer wont let me transfer anything anywhere. Everytime I do, my computer sends me an error message and automatically shuts off the program. It use to be perfect befor. I don't know what it is now. I tried to uninstall and install again but it's doing the same thing now.

And the line in I use on the back of my computer (I guess now doesn't accept the dubbing cable) to convert and track to CD. I hooked up the cable from my radio to MD to make sure the cables working I can hear the radio (via MD) fine.

AGGHHH!!

Can anyone help?

You can't record in mp3 on the unit. Also the MZ-NF710 cannot upload to the computer. You need to use a recording program in realtime like Audacity.

It's hard to understand how you're trying to transfer material. What program is crashing? If you're talking about SonicStage, it sounds like you're trying to use a line connection--a cord that would go from MD to radio--rather than the USB connection.

The only way you can transfer from computer to MD is via USB. You can't transfer in the other direction.

If SonicStage is the program that's crashing, can you figure out what changed on your computer between when SonicStage was working and when it wasn't? Did you install other programs, or move things around?

Is your hard drive nearly full? Can you delete any unnecessary stuff?

If you have the USB hooked up and SonicStage still isn't working, then:

Do a complete uninstall of SonicStage according to this thread, including deleting the directories and registry keys.

Then get the SonicStage 3.0 installer (link under SonicStage 3.0 in that post above) and do the net installation, and see if that helps.
