Dividing Tracks in SS 3.3: Errors

I have used SS to split uploaded tracks since October 2004 without any problems. I have had some problems with 3.3 dividing tracks. Seems I get about half way through and then an error occurs.

The last time, I had moved a track from another album, renamed the track and then attempted to divide the track. Well, it didn't like that. It wouldn't let me play the track either. SS wanted to connect to find the license or something like that...It's that damn DRM getting in the way, cause it's in the "registering track" phase that I get the error.

Luckily, we now have the unlimited upload feature to keep me from going insane. My masters on my discs don't go anywhere until I have the tracks split, normalized (if needed) and converted to FLAC and archived. I am now planning to just use CD WAV to split my tracks, can't trust SS anymore with these PCM WAV file splitting. It's far easier that SS and I enjoy the visual track display and ease of archiving after I am done with the splits. In case you haven't read anything about it before...CD WAVE download

Just my observation and plan. Anybody else having problems with SS 3.3 on the divide track feature after upload?

Never had any problems with dividing tracks uploaded from the Hi-MD. This started with SS3.3 But then again, this problem got me back to CD WAV which I had forgotten was far easier to use and had a visual display for splitting tracks. I won't even bother tracking on the Hi-MD anymore. Thanks for the reply.

I have had similar problems. Never previously had any trouble uploading and editing/dividing tracks until I moved to SS 3.3.

I have also had problems with editing on the MD and then uploading. Again did not have any problems until 3.3

The problems also coincide with a move to a new PC running XP, when previously i was using 98SE.

Only once. I somehow overtaxed the CPU opening two more apps when SS was splitting and then it gave me the same error. (Tracks coming from another computer? What the heck have you been smoking, Sony?). By a shot of sheer luck, HI-MDRenderer was able to convert that file. Talk about odds.
