DRM

Hey guys,

what is DRM..i heard that ss3.2 doesnt have it anymore...does this mean i can upload songs back onto my computer or just live recordings?

DRM = Digital Rights Management. It's technology that limits your rights to use data.

With Hi-MD, SonicStage 3.2 allows you to do unlimited uploads to your own computer of any live analog recordings you have made via mic-in or line-in. It should have always been that way. I don't know if you can upload your recordings to a second computer, but I doubt it. If you have a NetMD (since you're in the NetMD thread), you still can't upload live recordings.

Prerecorded songs are digital recordings, not analog. You could always upload songs you had downloaded to your MD from your computer. You still can't upload songs downloaded from someone else's computer.

hi there, whenever i do upload songs from my md...it asks for whether its in the library or not...and if it is...it just deletes it from my md and i dno where it goes on my computer :S

The analogy is to a library. You take a book out of the library--transfer it to your MD--and then return it when you're done. Actually, the file stays in your computer and you're copying it onto MD, then removing it from the MD when you transfer it back. SonicStage used to "check out" songs a limited number of times, but not in the latest version.

Open SonicStage and click on My Library. Your songs should be listed there, though they may be hard to find depending on what title information they were given.

The file itself should be in a folder called "Packages," unless at some point you told SonicStage to save things somewhere else.
