Problem: SonicStage transfers files as static

[allegate]

Have a listen. A few weeks ago the player stopped uploading songs at all. I tried everything and eventually found that Sonicstage, for whatever reason, had changed the location of the mp3 files. Not sure how to explain this, but it seemed that the physical address of where the files were located was changed in the SS database. I deleted and reloaded everything and it worked, songs started to transfer.

So now I try to listen to one of my discs I just made and everything is static, no matter what bitrate I used to trasnfer. I wonder if it's the player but no, all of my old discs pre-breakdown worked fine. I tried the uninstall thing found in the Hi-MD/NetMD Software FAQ last night and installed this morning. Nada. Any ideas?

(and that track is just static, but if you want me to remove it I shall.)

info: SonicStage 3.3, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, SP2, 2.08 GHz, 512 MB RAM, MD player is the MZ-NH600D. Thanks.

Maybe the recording block on the unit is going bananas. And since it's a 600, there's no way to find out by making a recording through line in. >_<.

What are your results with Simple Burner?

I'd never used that part of the software before until now. It's kind of useful actually, and it works! (I must say that's the best part). Thanks for the recommendation. I saw something about making virtual cd's with a daemon tool (I have no idea what I just said btw); would that work here so I don't have to burn a new cd-rw for every cd I want to transfer?

Funny thing. SonicStage died on me today and I got the "submit error report" dialog from XP. I submitted and it said it was a problem with the DVD driver for my DVD player. How odd. I uninstalled that program and got this error message when I tried to upload in SonicStage:

¿Que?

Yes, you can use a burner program lika Nero and instead of burning to a CD-RW burn to an Image file (selectable as a pre-defined burner in Nero). Then mount that image, you could use Nero Image Drive instead of Daemon Tools, and it then behaves just like you have an extra CD-ROM drive. Everytime you make a new disc, just overwrite the old image file.

[allegate]

ah, Nero. The last time I installed Nero I ended up formatting my hard drive a week later. I think that was about a year ago. Is the newest version easier to use?

I don't know - I don't have the newest version...

Many burning programs can burn to an image drive, check the program you usually use. And then mount with daemon-tools, if the burning program itself doesn't come bundled with image drive software.

My Easy CD Creator does image files and I'm just lucky enough that it is a format not supported by Daemon Tools. Figures.

I'm trying a few different programs, maybe I'll find the right combination soon.

[tommypeters]

Haven't tried Easy CD Creator, but sometimes vendors just give a different name to an .iso file (like the .img "format") so make one try change the extension of the image to .iso and see what happens.

Reformatted after Nero? I've been using Nero for about 5 years and have never had a problem with it that wasn't caused by something other than Nero [faulty hardware, defective discs, or faulty user, heh].

I'm not running the most recent version here, but Nero does write images, and it comes with a image-mounting tool as well.

There are probably better tools for making images, but I've never had the need. I also use Virtual Clonedrive for images from other sources, though.
