I purchased my MZ-RH10 a few days ago and everything works fine.

I Just have this minor issue. My PC Hard drive doesn't has much free space and in a few days i found that .oma files already took a couple of GB.

The .oma are from a couple of large wav uploads that I have already saved in another folders so, can i delete those? Other oma's are from mp3 albums that i convert to HI-LP to transfer to a HI-MD, so I don't need those files. Can I just hit "del" or SonicStage needs those files to work fine?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The OMA files are simply copies of your imported mp3's or uploaded material from your HiMD. OMA is the Atrac3 format which SonicStage converts your file to in order to play on your HiMD.

If you have the mp3's elsewhere, you can safely delete those oma files. You would just need to re-import the mp3's into sonicstage if you want to transfer them again.

As far as your uploaded material. If you have saved them as wav files, theres no need to keep the oma's either.

If you go into Options in SonicStage, and click on Transfer, there is an option under the "Advanced" properties for HiMD/NetMD transfer settings to "delete the converted files from the hard disk after transferring", this will prevent SonicStage from filling up your hard drive with all of those oma files.

Be careful deleting the files from within SonicStage, if you check "delete the file from computer" it may delete your original mp3 as well. I would recommend removing them from your library without that option checked, and then going to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\SonicStage\Packages" and deleting the oma files from within the folders there if you are sure you don't need them.

For your uploaded wav files, you could also try a lossless format like FLAC to compress them without losing quality.
