Bullco Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) I having a sound problem when I play my songs on my MD. The songs play fine it doesn't skip, but there is this weird clocking sound whenever I play a song. My MDs are not broken because I tried an older disc that I had before this problem, on both my MDs and the disc plays fine. It's only until recently that this is happening! I don't know why but whenever I make a new disc, this problem is occuring!!I am using Sonic Stage 3.4 to transfer songs to my MD (I have 2 MDs...Net MD Walkman MZ-N510 Type S & MD Walkman MZ-N420D) I tried transferring a couple of songs on a fresh disc with LP4 Stereo, but still I get this weird clocking sound on playback on my MD. So I tried converting different formats before transferring, but I still get this problem!! Why!??? I tried transferring with my other MD, but still this problem occurs!!!I am not running any programs while tranferring and still I get this problem!!! It just happened recently! Before I could transfer songs and they would play crystal clear on my MDs, but WHY!? is this happening???Please please help!

raintheory Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 What are the source files? Mp3? CD?Have you tried importing different files to see if they all show this same artifact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raintheory Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) The problem may lie within the Mp3 decoder that SonicStage is using. Try this to check:Download dbPoweramp (free in downloads section here in the forums), and convert those Mp3 files to .WAV and import the WAV files into SonicStage and transfer. See if the problem is still there.The only other option I would recommed at this time is a complete uninstall/reinstall of SonicStage (uninstall via the instructions here: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=8071 ), which may resolve the problem.EDIT: Check this location to be sure that there aren't already .OMA files of the tracks you are trrying to transfer, if an .OMA version exists here, then SonicStage won't re-encode the files to transfer, it will just transfer what is there... C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\SonicStage\Packages\Optimized FilesIf there are already versions of the tracks in there that contain errors, these will be the files that SonicStage automatically transfers without any re-encoding.Also, do your MD models have linein/mic in? Do recordings made via line/mic have this same issue? Edited April 25, 2006 by raintheory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be sure to set a bitrate and do not transfer the WAV files "as-is", otherwise they may transfer as PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
