So if you have files on hd or cd, you can use himd recorder well. You can transfer mp3 files to himd only through SonicStage sofware, no other way yetOnly to 2nd generation of himd may be mp3 files transfered directly(rh10,rh910), if you have 1st generation himd you need transcode files to Atrac3+ Bye Valta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uri75 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Is there a batch converter to do this (mp3->ATRAC3+)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 1. You can copy your MP3 files like ordinary files using your explorer's drag and drop functionality for all HiMD units, 1st and 2nd gen. The only hitch is that your HiMD won't recognize those mp3 files for playback. However, you can upload back the said drag and dropped file to any computer that supports USB file system/discs, such as Mac, Linux, WinXP.You just won't be able to play those back on the unit, that's the only hitch.By the way, the disc and unit are independent of each other. You can use your Disc and load it up with data and use a different HiMD unit to load it back to another PC.2. There is a batch MP3->Atrac3plus convertor (check the download section), but they only support Atrac3plus modes, namely HiSP, HiLP, and HiLP48kbps. The mass conversion process for me has been generally a hit and miss proposition. Most files do convert OK, but occassional MP3s will be converted into silence. The only thing I can gather that causes this is maybe id3 tag related, but that's only my guess. (ie. I have no clue why)3. If you have second generation HiMD player, you can transport your MP3s via SonicStage (and only SonicStage) without any transcoding or conversion. Since it looks as if you haven't gotten your "600" yet (or I am assuming that is what you're looking at), I'd suggest against it. Instead, look towards getting a DH710. It offers same set of functionality of NH600D (in that both has no innate recording ability, US unit only), but has MP3 playback. Finally, you can take your disc full of MP3s, give them to your friend, and should he have a 2nd Gen unit, he can play them back on his unit. He just won't be able to upload them back to his PC. The way around that is of course, offered in this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
