heathenmagic Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Thanks for the heads up! Would love to know more about DSEE. Looks like I will have to redo all my discs if it is as good as it sounds. Wonder if anybody knows more about it?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) Seems that SONY has finally brought the OpenMG Secure Module to order. No more "Limited Patches" or "Add-ons", just the "OpenMG Secure Module 4.6.01" in "Add/Remove Programs".BTW, the old "OpenMG AAC Add-on" is not uninstalled when you upgrade to SS42, despite the fact that it is no longer needed (it is now integrated with the main module). I would recommend backing up your Library, completely uninstalling the previous version, cleaning up the registry, installing the new version "from scratch", and then restoring your Library from the backup. In this way you will get a clean installation without any "atavisms". Edited November 12, 2006 by Avrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) ATRAC CD burning seems to be fixed. I don't own an ATRAC CD player, but still tried burning to a CD-RW. Everything went OK (no 69% glitch anymore), and all files on the CD are perfectly readable, at least by my computer. Not playable by the computer, of course.

This brings up real hopes!!!Sparky191 writes:"I wonder is Lossless fixed?"No, the drivers are the same (one year old at least). Those that came in the 3.4.02 package with the RH1.

Avrin Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Reposting from atraclife.com:DSEE actually does add some higher frequencies above the cutoff frequency of a file, but ONLY when played on the computer. No way to use this function on the unit.Try playing an ATRAC3plus 48 kbps file through good headphones with and without DSEE - you will hear the difference. Frequency analysis in Adobe Audition also demonstrates that, but it also shows that frequencies are added in a “not quite linear” way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doclloyd Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Another just OK upgrade. Small speed improvements and more enhancements for non MD devices. Would be great to see DSEE like functionality added to portable devices - maybe via firmware (only dreaming here)? It would be great to remove the DRM added to uploaded tracks. Really, why add it in the first place? You allow conversion to WAV already, just go the next step. Otherwise, I'll wait for the next incremental upgrade and install that when it comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmilovan Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 No standalone version for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roamer Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 There will probably be a offline version available in the download section later, but you'll have to wait a few weeks before someone makes the necessary installation files.

Avrin Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) Well, I can make a standalone installer in a couple of days (already have all necessary files), but will the administrators allow me to post it here?

dogville Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Is it available for the RH-1 too?. I see no mention among all the models cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky191 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I didn't really notice any difference in transfers and combining tracks. Perhaps its slightly faster, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 (edited) Looks like nobody cares about an offline installer, or the ability to download all separate SonicStage installation components for the version you like (3.4 - 4.2, any region, any available language).The problem is that I know all links. All of these are online. Sorry, SONY, SonicStage is not Internet Explorer (which saves installation files). We have to trace where it downloads itself from. And I've successfully done this.And I promise not to disclose the technique to use the CONNECT US Online Radio to download (and save) the music to anyone's liking. This technique is really simple, and any SS user can discover it. Edited November 14, 2006 by Avrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Please don't waste your time creating an offline installer when we will have one here, hosted, in a week or so. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
