SonicStage 'Unable to transfer'

[boomklever]

When I received my new MZ-RH1 I installed Sonicstage 4 and ripped a batch of CD's into SonicStage. Everything went well, until I decided to put a collection on Hi-MD. Most songs went OK, but a few reported 'Unable to transfer'.

I did not manage to get these songs on Hi-MD, so I eventually grabbed the original CD and from that CD everything worked fine. So I ripped the CD again, and now it works. Very strange!

Now I have come to the conclusion that about 20% of the CD's I ripped do not transfer, but deleting them first and ripping them again solved the problem. Note: it is direct conversionj from CD (wav) to ATRAC (256kb).

There is one thing I noticed (or did not) during ripping: there were a few CD's where I did not hear the 'ripping finished' melody of SonicStage. Maybe I took out the CD too fast? I can experiment on that.

But I keep finding it strange that I ripped a normal CD into ATRAC format, could play them but NOT transfer them. The only message was 'unable to transfer'...

Anyone else has this problem experienced?

If I find a solution I will report here.

I think you may have figured out the problem. There's always some time between "100%" and the "finished" sound, and SonicStage must need that time to finalize things.
