Problems When Transferring

[Featfan80]

I am using SS3. When transferring CD's to MD, I have been using Hi-Sp, without knowing the 256kps version would be kept in My Library instead of the PCM version. Fine, I can deal with that, I've only transferred 8-10 albums and can start over if need be.

However, when I tried to do a sound comparison between 105 kps and 132 kps, I encountered a problem. First, it was no problem making a MD with the settings at 105 kps. However, when I next tired to make a 132 kps MD, by changing the settings to 132 kps, all the songs were transferred at the 105 kps rate. My Library still shows the songs stored at HiSp and will let me transfer at that rate if I do a same rate transfer in settings, but will not do a 132 kps. I then tired a transfer in Hi-LP which worked. So I guess if I had dome the 132 kps first and then the 105 kps transfer, it would have worked. So, now the real questions.

What is the explanation? Does the program keep a converted file in memory? Can it be deleted? Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening again?

There are two setting for bitrate:

* the first applies to conversions as made from CDs &c.

* the second applies to tracks sent to your player in the transfers window

This way you can rip in one format and write a different one to your discs if needs be.

It sounds to me like you have the second setting set to 105kbps.

Some of these are largeish, so please allow time to load them ..

The settings for what encoding gets used when ripping from CD are found here:

[attachmentid=178]

They can also be reached in the preferences from here:

[attachmentid=180]

[using the "Select Format" button]

This is the settings dialogue from either place:

[attachmentid=179]

The settings for what gets written to your HiMDs or MDs are here:

[attachmentid=181]

They can also be reached in the prefs from here:

[attachmentid=184]

[using "Set Transfer Mode"]

The basic dialogue is this:

[attachmentid=182]

Note that Standard mode tries to write whatever format the track is currently in the the disc asis; specifying a mode, well, specifies a mode, which is what it sounds like you've done.

The advanced dialogue has additional settings:

[attachmentid=183]

In particular:

* "Delete the converted files after transferring" and

* behaviour for the "Standard transfer settings" mode

Chances are, if you just switch the "Transfer Mode" to "Standard" your problem will be fixed.
