first, if there's a place where my q is answered just direct me there, please don't shout at me! Q: I've got music files already in my pc (.wav). Is there some way I can get them into my md without having to go get the original cd's and do the soundstage thing? Put it another way, is there some neat way to pop my exisiting .wav files into soundstage and thence into my md? Bear in mind I'm a 15 yr old girl and not that techie, 'press this then press that' is the way to go...

data: Net Md mz-n710, XP pro v 2002, pentium 4, 180 ghz, 256 ram

And thanx!

Welcome to MDCF,

first, if there's a place where my q is answered just direct me there, please don't shout at me!

whispering very softly tongue.gif ...almost all you need is presented in the 'help files' of SonicStage...

but not all: first thing you should do is to check the version of SonicStage(=SS) you have (in SS->help->about SS)

if it is anything lower than 2.3, update immediately to 3.1 from here

if it is 2.3 or 3.0 you could still best upgrade to 3.1, but it isn't as urgent (if you don't really feel comfortable with upgrading)

if you already have music in SonicStage (ripped CD's) first run the SS-backup tool (it's in the same folder as SS) so you won't lose any music that way... (if you don't have a music library yet or don't mind that it could be erased, just skip the backup tool)

to import your wav's, simply open SS, go to file->import and then you can choose 'open file' if you want to add each wav individually or 'scan folder' and select the folder with all the wav's if you want to import them all... they should appear in SS, ready to be transfered to Net-MD (in the bitrate you want) by pressing the blue transfer button up right, select your MD (which should be plugged in by USB of course), selecting the wanted tracks on the left and pressing the big red arrow pointing right, towards your MD

if the wav's are from CD's you have with you, you could use Simple Burner (you can download version 2.0 from here). It is a very useful and much simpler (hence the name) program than SS, but you need SS to be installed on your computer for it to run. In SimpleBurner, you just pop in a CD, select the bitrate (LP2, LP4, ...) and press transfer. The tracks are downloaded to MD and they will not be put on your PC, so they won't take up any space on your harddisc.

hope this helps (and that I was clear enough in my explanation)...if not, just let us know and I or someone who can explain things better tongue.gif will try again (also if you have further questions)

greetings, Volta

PS: always good to see a next generation interested in MD
