Firstly, you need to know that MDs may skip when you are doing continued exersice. If the sound starts skipping or jumping, place the MD on a flat surface where it cannot recieve any bumps, shocks or vibrations. Subjecting your MD to futher vibrations may damage the read mechanism. Personally, I would avoid working out with your MD, they are not designed to be subject to that sort of use.

However, if that's not causing the problem, then I would check the terms and conditions of your warranty. Some Sony warranties extend worldwide. If there is a problem with your unit, I'm sure you'll be able to have it repaired under warranty in your current locations. If not, you could always consider having it shipped to a service centre in Australia.

As for the SonicStage problem - well... it's simply a result of you reinstalling SonicStage and therefore resetting the OpenMG encryption. There's nothing you can really do about it, save, erase the MDs, re-rip or re-import the original material into SonicStage and start transferring all over again.

If the content you are talking about is stuff you originally recorded from your MD, I would recommend freeing the material from SonicStage by using Marcs HiMD->WAV rendering utility (you can find it in these forums).
