night-crawler Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Ok, this is my first thread round here, i'm not a MD user but my problem here is stricttly about softwarethe thing is, I have a Sony Mp3 Player, and a few days ago, i had to erase all the songs from the memorylater when i tried to import again files from SS 4, like i had the first time, i got some error in some files"The transfer is not Allowed", ok no big deal, shut down the program, start it again and all was fine, until every 10 or so files, it started gaving me that error, not on the same track just random.So, i decided to roll back to 3.4, well same thing on this. Making it short, i installed a LOT of SS's, until at SOME point my head was so messed up, that it asked my to do some kind of conversion from one SS version to another, the thing is, "he" said that it needed a internet connection, i just clicked yes...And THIS is where the problem start, next thing, i'm importing musics to my MP3 player, all was going sweetuntil i get the error, transfer not allowed, but, NOW a simples SS restart didn't solve it NOW it's f*kng impossibleto transfer the file. So just in case I click with the right button in the file and try to convert it to ATRAC (plus or not, doesn't matter) and it gives me this nice little error:Cannot Convert the specified track.Possible Reasons may include:- The track (files) cannot be found.- SonicStage does not support the file format of the track- The Track is copyright protectedSo, first of all, if the track cannot be found, then it shouldn't be able to play it, SS does play it...Same thing for the second reason, if it does not support it how the hell is it able to play it? AND why does it encode other songs and not this one if a few weeks ago he (SS) was able to do it(there are several ones that i cannot convert, i'm just talking in singular)And for the third reason, I cliked with the right mouse button went to properties and get thisPlayback restrictions: NoneNo. of times played: 0timesNo. of times transferred: 0timesRemaining transfer count: UnlimitedRemaining ATRAC CD transfer count: UnlimitedRemaining audio CD transfer count: Unlimitedso no copyrights for me....I'm SOOO sorry for this long text but this is driving me nuts, i'm about to sell the mp3 just because of the piece of garbage that SonicStage is....probably tomorrow i'll be installing windows again, just to "make sure" but if anyone finds a way...oh by the way, I installed Sound Forge Audio Studio 8, and got the ATRAC plug-in from ATRACLife website, and guess what... Audio Studio IS able to encode the file that SS isn'tTks to anyone who "wasted" time to read this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Sometimes certain ID3 tags trip up the conversion... You could try stripping the tags from the mp3 first...Alternately you could use dbpoweramp or a similar program to convert the mp3 to WAV and then import and transfer that (after which the WAV can be safely deleted).

night-crawler Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 probably that should do it, but encode again like 200 mp3's was something i didn't had in mind....but tks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky191 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 night-crawler - Dude when you have a problem you should really resolve that and not keep reinstalling and reinstalling. That really makes the problem worse. If it were me. I'd remove all the music from Sonic Stage, but not delete it from the HD. Copy it to another folder as a backp. Then uninstall SonicStage and make sure its completely gone from the system and the registry etc. Then reinstall SonicStage and reimport the music to it. I've never really had any problems with SonicStage myself. But I have noticed that sometimes (when I've been hacking it about) it doesn't update library correctly. Its like the library is corrupt or something for a couple of tracks. So by clearing the library and reimporting everything it seems to resolve everything. For me anyway.
