LupinIV Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hello everybody.I have updated Sonicstage to 3.0. Looks good, but it seems to give me some creeps (like that is a news)Any mp3 imported into SS3.0 sounds good, but once tranferred into the HiMD (NHF800) they are played at superfast speed (would say at least double).This phenomenon doesn't seem to affect WAV tracks.I am trying to transfer some audiobooks that I had on tape and saved into mp3s.Thanks for any help.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fray Adjacent Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Un/reinstall sonicstage? Delete your database and recreate it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupinIV Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Un/reinstall sonicstage? Delete your database and recreate it?←Very funny!!! Not the case, though. I found out that the mp3s that are playing faster were recorded mono.Is there any published issue about SS and mono mp3s?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atreyu Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) I found out that the mp3s that are playing faster were recorded mono.Is there any published issue about SS and mono mp3s?←I've had the same problem... specifically with long, low-bitrate mono mp3's of talk radio programs. I just threw in the towel on the issue... I use the excellent (and free) dBpowerAMP Music Converter to convert the mp3 to a mono WAV file, add the WAV to a SS playlist, then convert it to Atrac3plus 48kbps and delete the WAV file (via the converted track's properties dialog).It's a drag, but it works and doesn't take *that* much longer than doing it automatically... you're basically just doing what SS would do anyway (internally it's trying to go MP3->PCM->Atrac, only SS's MP3->PCM step is failing).

Breepee2 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Sounds like Sonicstage is stupid (hey, what's new?).Are those mp3 by any chance 22Khz, or at least non-44.1? I've got some audiobooks which are 22Khz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupinIV Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I've had the same problem... specifically with long, low-bitrate mono mp3's of talk radio programs...←Thanks Atreyu, I suspected I had to go through the "DIY"!!! Thanks again Sony!Now, all the things that a good recorder should be able to do, and that should be supported by its software, it looks like we have to do it ourself using other tools.Were the mono mp3s an issue with SS 2.3? I do not believe I have had this problem before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some audiobooks which are 22Khz.←These are the details...Some are: Bit rate: 64 kbps Channels: 1 (mono) Audio Sample Rate: 48khzOthers: Bit rate: 24 kbps Channels: 1 (mono) Audio Sample Rate: 22khzThe issue seems to be sprung by the "mono" more than the sampling rates.
