stormynight Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hey guys. I know this has been covered somewhat in other posts but my situation is somewhat different. I have the Sony walkman MZ-RH10 and used to be able to transfer tracks to it just fine via sonicstage 3.0. I recently upgraded to SS 4.0 CP and now after SS converts my WMA or MP3 files to ATRAC, it just freezes up while trying to transfer them to my portable. I've contacted Sony 3 times about this and they just keep giving me half-ass automated replies that don't help me out one bit. Some support they got there. Anyway, I tried uninstalling everything, including the drivers, sony files/folders, registry keys and emptying the recycle bin to no avail several times. I also tried versions 3.0, 3.4 and 4.0 again. Still no luck. What a pain! I don't know who designed their crappy software but they oughta be bitch-slapped! Any ideas other than a complete reinstall of Win Xp would be much appreciated.

A440 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Can you tell which MP3s aren't working? Do they have long or unusual titles? Try giving them shorter titles with conventional characters. SonicStage is touchy about titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormynight Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) Thank's for the replies. I have no skins but use wallpaper. Got rid of that but it makes no difference. My system specs:Asus SLI Deluxe AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+2 GB of DDR-SDRAMNvidia 7900 GTXCreative X-fi soundcardWin XP HomeWin XP firewallNorton A/VRoboformI get the feeling that there is a major bug in Sonicstage that keeps the program from properly uninstalling and leaves unwanted entries in the registry that interfere with a new installation. I found a post somewhere that showed all these Sony & Open MG folders/files and reg keys to delete. I deleted them all and restarted(in safe mode) but I still have the same problems as before. Is it just me or does SS kind of act like a computer virus? No matter what you do, you can't get rid of the damn thing! Arrrggghhh! The weird thing is that right after a new install of SS, it works fine for about 5 min but than it refuses to transfer anymore tracks. I'm probably just gonna have to re-install Win XP cuz this seems to be the only thing that ever works(at least for awhile). I wish that Sony would worry less about adding new features in updates and just focus on taking the bugs out so that it works reliably. Than maybe we could all enjoy our Md walkmans w/out having to cross our fingers and hope for the best. Oh well. Maybe someday........ Yeah right!

The Low Volta Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 there have been issues noted between nvidia cards and SS... do a search for nvidia here on the forums as it has been discussed often IIRC but I can't seem to remember whether installing the latest drivers or one specific driver was the eventual solution... (a search should find this pretty quickly)I hope that fixes it as a windows reinstal is a real bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
