chriswyatt Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 The situation:Left my CD at work, but have a copy of it on Minidisc. I wanted to transfer this to my new NW-A3000 by uploading from Minidisc to Sonicstage and then to my NW-A3000.So look on transfer rights and it says 'Can be transferred to originating computer' or something like that. OK, fine.But when I try to transfer MY album from MY minidisc on to MY originating computer it says:Tracks that do not exist in My Library are selected.Cannot transfer the tracks deleted from My Library to the computer.So, having the right to transfer these tracks to My Library is actually quite pointless because they need to be there in the first place, nice one Sony, thanks a lot.---So my question is, are there any third-party utilities which will let my by-pass these silly copyright protection schemes, and give me the basic rights which I should have had in the first place?

Syrius Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 You can try the Total Recorder and real-time playback through USB method. Slow, but safe and 100% digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky191 Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 The check in and out of the library seems to be left over from earlier versions. However the DRM limitations and the awkwardness of proprietary music transfers is a major disadvantage to the Sony MP3 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky191 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 DRM is made specifically to prevent what you're trying to do....and fails Since you can use the USB or Analog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 True, though [unless the source is PCM] you're incurring at least one generation loss in the process through transcoding, and have to reconstruct track info on way or another.
