deadwing Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 ..Recorded a concert with my Sony MZ-NH1 in HI-MD mode tonight. On the way home, I connected the unit to my car hi fi and listened to the recording from start to finish. Connected it to my PC, opened Soundstage and started to transfer it to my PC just fine. Midway through, I accidentally knocked the usb lead and it came out of the front USB socket. Plugged back in again- mini disc shows up as new drive letter just fine, but when I go to Soundstage, I get this AufileERR message. I tried another H-MD in it and it worked just fine. Anyone any idea how I can salvage the stuff off this disc?? (FWIW, I'm using Soundstage 3.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skradgee Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hi deadwing. The first thing to do is upgrade to SonicStage 3.4 and then try to upload the file again. The latest version has relaxed many of the permissions for atrac files. Are you still able to play the recording on your player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still able to play the recording on your player?Thanks mate- just upgraded to 3.4, but still getting the same message -so damn annoying as the recording sounded great!!!I have been able to pull off all of the .hma files off the disc and into a folder on my HDD, is there any way I can use them to get at the music?

pauljones52 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Bit of a random idea and I have no idea if it would work or not, but try copying the .hma files to a blank disc and then try to upload via sonicstage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 that wont work. do they play off the disc at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 that wont work. do they play off the disc at all?Unfortunately,no. When I go into sonic stage, I get this message"Cannot use this disc because it was initialized by a program other than SonicStage"If I try to play it back through headphones, I just get the aufileERR message in the window and nothing happens.Like I mentioned, I can get at the the files via the 'removeable drive' icon and have sucessfully copied them all into a file on my HDD. I can see the file that has the concert (ATADATA5.HDA)-is there no way I can work with it from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 i'm sorry but it sounds like it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skradgee Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yeah, that recording may be gone for now, but hang on to that disc and don't erase it. Even though you may not be able to upload, or even play the recording...if you see a large file on the disc though windows explorer, maybe someday you can recover the recording if Sony provides Hi-MD recovery tools to their customers. Hopefully the company will make something like this available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
