I put a lot of work into titeling recorded tracks from the radio and now I see that SS trows all meta info like artist name, song name, album name etc. away when I convert to wav!

I use my SE K750i for music now (much quicker, and cheaper :-( ) but the conversion is a pain, especially the renaming part, I installed mp3 rename (nodesoft) and it works like a charm but I'd rather keep what I've entered into the NH1 during recording.

Anyone found a SE plug->minijack convertor btw? I'd love to have finally some nice Etymotic in-ear buds!

For people wanting to convert their files to AAC (mp4) for listening on their phone / Ipod like I do you can download Nero Digital command line AAC encoder for free, type cmd in start->run put all the wav's from SS in a folder like C:\wav and type: for %i in (dir *.wav) do C:\PATH_to_NeroDigitalAudio\neroAacEnc_SSE2.exe -if C:\WAV_PATH\%i -of C:\WAV_PATH\m4a\%i.m4a or for 2 pass encoding you have to set a target bit rate like 160kbps (it will be vbr around 160kps) like this: for %i in (dir *.wav) do C:\PATH_to_NeroDigitalAudio\neroAacEnc_SSE2.exe -br 1603840 -2pass -if C:\WAV_PATH\%i -of C:\WAV_PATH\m4a\%i.m4a

The 1603840 is because Nero wants us to use bps like this 160kbps=160x1024bps bits per seconds where everybody else uses kilo bits per sec.

Any linux fans having uses SS inside VMware inside Linux?

Share your knowledge! :-)

Hi SUSE 10.0 / SLED 10 / Open SUSE 10.2 all work fine with SS running on a Windows VM as a guest OS using VMWARE (either the commercial Workstation product or the free server -downloadable from VMWARE's site).

Note SUSE 10.2 has a little problem in that the USBFS is now taken out of the kernel by default due to security issues. Other distros will probably follow suit. This means you could have a potential problem connecting the MD (USB device) to your Windows Guest VM unless you compile the kernel with the USBFS option. (Only - currently applies to suse 10.2).

BTW the new flash players from Sony (NWS706F 4GB) play Atrac at various bit rates (of course) HE-AAC, MP3 and Atrac Lossless so this might be a better option for a player. ATrac lossless keeps your tags and you also have Uncompressed music in a reasonably lossless compression format which you can convert to other formats later if you need to.

Cheers
