SonicStage 3.2 Convert & Transfer to HD5

[lukeii]

Hi all. I'm new here, and I was just hoping for a little help with SonicStage.

Basically, I got the HD5 because I wanted to store my songs on it in Atrac3plus format. Currently, all my songs are in mp3 and I am having a hard time working out how to get SonicStage 3.2 to convert the files as it transfers them. The option just doesn't seem to work.

I click Settings in the middle of the page, choose specify bitrate mode, set the bitrate to 256kbps, yet when I transfer the fiules, they still show up as mp3s.

Anyone know an easier way to convert them all to ATRAC3plus?

Thanks in advance

Why do you want to convert your MP3s? The HD5 is perfectly capable in playing MP3s natively. Going to Atrac only gives you less quality due to transcoding.

If you still want to convert them to Atrac, go to the transfer setting screen, and set SS to transfer everything to the Atrac3/3+ bitrate you selected. If you select the first option (standard transfer mode), SS will transfer supported files as is, and since the HD5 can play MP3s, SS won't transcode them.

That's what I have done, but SS still just transfers them as is for some reason.
