Access to Sonicstage2.3

[mcgoverg]

Is it possible to access a Sonicstage library from another PC on the same network?

I'm running 2 PCs on XP and have around 400 CDs ripped onto SS2.3. I'd like to be able to play that from the other PC without having to re-rip.

Thanks

You can't with SonicStage 2.3 due to DRM restriction. However, you can share your ATRAC library (provided you select no DRM during an import) among several PCs. Therefore, you should upgrade to SonicStage 3.2; and ensure you backup all your tunes before the upgrade.

Please note: I have to re-import all my tunes back to SonicStage with no DRM. However, according to one member, indeego, you can remove the DRM from your existing tunes (from the 400 CDs) by:

I think the easiest way is to right-klick the file, chose convert (choose the actual bitrate) and uncheck the DRM-Option. It's quick, cause the file is not re-encoded but freed from DRM. After that you can delete the DRM-file.

Note: You can also choose a bunch of files at once ..

Good luck with the upgrade and report back if you need assistance.
