puki Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 i think it is 4 years ago or so that i bought a MZ-NH600D in the US. I live in europe , belgium and i managed to lose the CD containing sonicstage , so i downloaded sonicstage from the support site of sony. This was an old version i think sonicstage 2.0 or something.That worked for 4 years perfect until a few weeks ago. I tried to import an album i downloaded, and sonicstage wouldn't play the songs i imported.so i thought, reinstall it , and it wil work. So i went to the sony support page downloaden sonicstage 4.0 installed it , and let the program scan for files.But when i opened my library all songs were there, but almost none of them worked. sonicstage automatically skipped every song i clicked. It only played a handfull of songs.I don't understand it , i don't think my files are copyright protected, half of the files are from original cd"sSo i tried importing the files manually , but then i got an error stating :sonicstage can't import files that aren't registered to sonicstage , error 00007180can someone please help me ??thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbb90 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) Have you got these files on Hi-MD disc?You could try uploading them (DRM was removed in SS3.4).If you have the CD's still maby you could try importing them again (Chances are the atrac3plus encoders have improved since 2.0) Edited October 12, 2006 by danielbb90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puki Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 i've got more than 7000 music files on my computer ,some are legal, from cd , some are just downloads , i would prefer it if all of them would work , and i don't want to manually import 3500 files or so from CD to sonicstage , i don't have that much time can't i do something else , maybe install an older version or so ?

danielbb90 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) I would assume older versions are less likely to work.Do you have the tracks on a Hi-MD formatted minidisc? you can upload them via usb with SS3.4 or later Besides that I can't see another solution.

raintheory Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 What are the file types?When you say about half of the files are from original CDs, did you import these CDs directly into the older SonicStage, or did you use a seperate program to rip them as mp3?

puki Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 The files are still all there , i have tried to import them many times in sonicstage, and when i import a single file , i get an error 00007180, when i import a whole directory, i don"t get an error , but the files just don"t work.i just find it very strange because everything worked well for 3 years or so , i used sonicstage 2.0 for about 3 years and it worked well. and a few weeks ago, it stopped working correct.Maybe the fact that i lost my installation CD has something to do with it ? i just downloaded 4.0 from the support site and installed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 - elevation..... for..... elevation).4° run the program and import the "updated" mp3 file.i hope that you can do it as i did. sorry for the year of delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have over 7000 MP3 tracks in my MY MUSIC/MP3 folder and I have not been able to imported into Sonic Stage until I tried your renaming method. This works but (a) would take hours to change all 700 files ( it appears to put them in subfolder. Why would SS do this?Beemer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Why would SS do this?BeemerThere is no "why" with SonicStage. It is just perverse, cranky and mysterious. You can speed up your tagging a little bit with some of the tagging capability in media players like Windows Media Player (Library, highlight the whole album, right-click to get Advanced Tag Editor) or iTunes (Get Info under File), which allow you to re-title a whole album at a time. Some people also like the free Media Monkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
