geetpicker Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 so all my songs are in MP3, I'd like to do a batch conversion to ATRAC to speed up the transfers to my RH910. The MP3 conversion tool Sony offers doesn't work with SS3.2, are there any other solutions to a batch conversion? I don't want to go through them all song by song.Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZ-NH1 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I am pretty sure in SS, you can just highlight all the sony you want to convert, right click on them and go - Convert to.. and then Select the formate (Atrac or AtracPlus) and then what bitrate you want to use. It will then convert all the highlighted songs, and store the atrac conversions on your HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetpicker Posted August 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Thanks, but I guess I wasn't clear enough. I'm talking about over 20gigs of MP3 stored on a removable hard drive. SS won't let me save my batch conversions to the Storage Device, maybe because it's a wireless. Needless to say I can't move 20 gigs to my MD.I need a stand alone app here....I am pretty sure in SS, you can just highlight all the sony you want to convert, right click on them and go - Convert to.. and then Select the formate (Atrac or AtracPlus) and then what bitrate you want to use.

You drag a handful of your MP3's into SonicStage, view all tracks, sort by codec or import date, select the files, right click, and convert. It doesn't store them on the unit during this process, it just creates the ATRAC file from the MP3 file.If you need the resulting ATRAC files residing ultimately on your wireless SAN device, you can copy the files over, remove the reference from your SonicStage library, and then readd the references by dragging them into SS.Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
