MZ-RH910 and Podcast Problem (low bit rate mp3)

I have problems transfering podcasts to my MZ-RH910. After downloading a podcast open Sonicstage and transfer it to MD, then i unplug my MZ-RH910 and i try to play it and it does not work is displays a message "cannot play back". The same happens when i have the MP3 converted to ATRAC3 with Sonicstage and then transferred. I use HiMD mode for the transfers.

so this leaves my with the 'old' Nero Burning Rom trick of... burning a audio CD image, mounting it and using simple burner to transfer it and then it plays.... but it takes a while to create the image and then transfer it. and thus it defeats the purpose of having bought a new unit.

can anyone tell me of a way to get around this problem... either a program that can create a audio cd image really fast or a way to make Sonicstage convert it to ATRAC3 and make it work.

It's weird. I use podcast with my mznh900. I import them with SonicStage and then transer to himd in hilp mode. I have never had a problem with bitrates or something like that.

You could use a program like dbpowerAmp to convert the files without losing a lot of time. I have used it to convert some music and it works wonderfully.

The problem with the conversion inside SS is that it will always transfer the best quality track to the NH910.

The way you do it is Convert inside SS and then goto the properties page of the track, you will see under files that you have 2 files. One Hi-LP and one MP3, delete the MP3 file and then transfer the track to your Hi-MD.

The reason your Hi-MD cant play the track normally is that they must conform to 44.1KHz with a minimum bitrate of 32Kbps. Most podcasts are 22KHz
