I dont know what happened but now eveyr song I transfer to my Minidisc player (Sony MZ-N510 type s) the song sounds like the singers are singing underwater so to speak. there are random bubbling sounds through the entire track and it cuts in and out. is this a common or even heard of problem, and is it fixable?

That's called compression artifact, and is a demonstration of how lossy data compression works, or rather, how it fails to work. If you're using LP4, try switching to LP2. If you're already using LP2, record in SP mode realtime from a CD player using the line or optical in, if the N510 has them.

If that doesn't help, try another set of headphones.

And if they don't work well either, then it's probably a bad soldering joint or a broken trace where the headphone jack is connected to the mainboard inside the MD recorder.

I should have mentioned this, but I know it's not the headphones because if I play a Minidisc that I burned a few months ago, the tracks sound fine. Even if I copy new songs onto an old disc that still has music on it, the old songs will be fine but the newly transferred ones sound messed-up. I use sonicstage and record in LP2, all settings are default.

Are a bunch of other programs running simultaneously on your computer, or are you connecting the MD through a USB hub instead of directly? SonicStage needs a lot of processor power and it needs a direct USB connection.

Run a virus scan with Kurisu's favorite:

just to make sure there's nothing on your computer that shouldn't be.

Then hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE (just once, not twice) and see what's running that you can shut off while you run SonicStage.

I think we had the same problem:

I solved the problem:

Now I use the M3U2SBurner in combination with simple burner and daemon tools. Thanks to Paolo, who did a great job with this program.

There are no more underwater sounds!

I hate Sonic Stage! But Minidisc is great.
