SonicStage 4 doesn't allow any mp3 transfers to my MD

Hello,

I am rather confused. I used to use SonicStage 3.4, life was good. Then my computer crashed so I took the pleasure of wiping my HD and starting over again, so this is how I got the new SonicStage 4. Now strangely, when I tried putting a few new songs on my Hi-MD, I only get the message "Transfers are not allowed". Strange, because it's an mp3, and furthermore in the properties dialog in my library, it tells me that I have no restrictions and unlimited transfers, you name it.

If I try to convert them manually I get the following error code:

00000908-6127

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 protected

Let me emphasize again: The file paths are absolutely correct. The format is mp3 VBR, not purchased anywhere and no protection, it used to transfer them without any problems.

What's wrong? I tried many different files, even some I already had on that MD. Getting my recordings of it wasn't a problem by the way (although it produced some pretty stupid files of five seconds length and then another after it with the rest of the 45 min and it left me with all the stupid ATRAC files in addition to the wavs)

Strange new world...

Thanks a lot,

Johannes.

I'm afraid I'm back to square one with this one. Most of the time I get the stupid "no right to do that" message. Only on lucky days I manage to transfer my mp3s. I never have any trouble transfering .wavs, by the way.

Oh, why does this have to be like this? Does anyone know a solution for my problem? Or is there anyone who knows where to get Sonicstage 3.4 from?

By the way, I don't know if that might help, but it's an observation: When I connect my NH700 it displays PC--MD in the bottom line of the display. When I click on play it changes to PC--MD in the top line. That's where it used to be when everything worked fine. Now however it starts flashing and after a couple of seconds it's back in the bottom line. This happens with all MDs and Hi-MDs I have got.

Thanks a lot

Johannes.

Ok, I think I may have stumbled over the problem. Maybe someone with a similar problem finds this helpful...

I have no driver for my on-board soundcard installed, so whenever I try to play an audio file, my computer doesn't know how to handle it. Similar things seem to happen with Sonicstage when converting mp3 into attrac (as I said, transfering wavs never seemed to be a problem). The solution is: If I want to transfer files on my Atrac device, I need to switch on my external soundcard (or get myself a driver for my on-board chip...). Voilà. And that neatly explains the seemingly random behaviour whether it worked or not...

In any case, thank you very much for your time looking at this thread, possibly figuring out what my problem might be.

Johannes.
