KelticFox Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I've had a NetMD for about 5 years now (MZ-N710), and I have to say I'm still in love with it. I love the sony build quality as my NetMD has been all around the world with me and even in 2 confilcts (I was in Bosnia & Iraq with the Army).Well due to some FUBAR with SonicStage (Cant convert and transfer for some reason), I've decided to upgrade to a Hi-MD.My list of requirements are simply:Must play MP3 Native (so I dont have to convert )Mustn't cost a fortune Any help would be muchly appreciated (and if someone can help me fix my NetMD I'd love you even more as well )(Info for NetMD - Wont transfer any file it needs to convert, but WILL transfer *.oma files. Hence I think its something to do with the Converting process ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 No matter what you get, you're going to have to get SonicStage working to transfer music. Even units that play mp3 without conversion still have to send them via SonicStage. They don't drag-and-drop (actually they do, but the dragged-and-dropped mp3s don't play). Have you installed other music players in your computer, or something that could have confused SonicStage's mp3 converter? Look in Add or Remove Programs and see if you have any codec packs like K-Lite, FFDShow, etc. Set a Restore point (Programs/Accessories/System Tools) in case for some reason you need them and then uninstall them. Try SonicStage again.How old is your SonicStage? Anything before 3.2 at the oldest should be upgraded, and if you're having troubles you should upgrade anyway. So first, try updating SonicStage with version 4.0, which you can find in Downloads as a full installer or an online installer connecting to Sony. Make sure you run the Backup Tool (in Programs/SonicStage) before you make changes in SonicStage. If you run the Backup Tool you will probably never need the backup, but if you don't....Only the MZ-RH units play mp3 natively. So your choices are RH710 (no mic jack in case you care), RH910, RH10 (more expensive) and RH1 (top price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelticFox Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Cheers for info.My sonicstage is 4.0, I have no codecs installed, but do use WMP 11, and RealPlayer (was last resort to try to get NetMD to transfer).Cant understand it as I had it working, then it just stopped for no reason.
