Caleb Blood Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi everybody.I had SS1.5 working smoothly under win88se. About a week ago it decided to go on strike and the importing function never worked again. Everything else is still working.When importing mp3 the percentage goes up to 10 and then stops. Only the new playlist is created.Yestarday I installed SS3.3. The installation went fine, but when starting SS an error message pops alerting for some problem with Windows media format files (¿?). Then it stops.The specs are: AMD Sempron 2400, 512MB ram, ATI6200, Soundblaster Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large batch transfers lock up the software after the transfer begins. Can you transfer a few files at a time?I cannot upload more than about 25 files at a time without locking it up. All transfers are ok if the batches are small though. Even SS3.4, ya know the one that recently debuted with stunning new functionality, still suffers from this bug.

Caleb Blood Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Does it import from cd's?Import from CDs doesn´t work either. But it did a few weeks ago.Sounds like you may have been bitten by the large batch transfer bug. Large batch transfers lock up the software after the transfer begins.

One file or whole albums where no truoble at all.Now I can´t import even a single song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Blood Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Something happened last night. I uninstalled SS1.5, removed every sony folder and almost every sony related entry in the registry.After that I installed SS1.5 again. Guess what, it was working once again. A minor problem now is that SS is crashing everytime I try to playback imported files. Nothing to worry about, I only need the damn software to import music and transfer the files to the MD.One last thing. What are those windows media format files? The SS1.5 CD has a folder with those files. I installed everything but SS.3.3 keeps asking for them.Anyway, thanks to everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
