prophet_od Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hi all. I'll try and give as much info as possible, and I'd dearly love some help. =)I have a VAIO pocket player with about 4000 songs coded onto it in ATRAC3 and ATRAC3 PLUS from my own CD collection. None of the songs are downloaded or ones I purchased from Connect store.SonicStage 2.1 came with the VAIO pocket orginally, but I'd upgraded the software to 3.4 from the Sony site some time ago. I recently had to do a fresh install of my OS and everything on my PC. When it came to reinstalling SonicStage I borrowed a disc with 3.4 on it from work (I happen to work in a Sony Centre) and installed it. After the installation was done and my PC restarted, I tried to load up SonicStage and it came up with an error saying it couldn't find the OMGmodule. I uninstalled and tried again. I've done several completely fresh installs of it now, also trying downloaded versions from various websites, turning my firewall and everything off etc (everything that's been suggested in other threads here). I still cannot get SonicStage to work. Oh, and I've tried running the OMGmodule separate installer from the CD and that didn't help either.I have tried loading the 4.2 version from the Sony site previously but when I plug my VAIO pocket into it it says it'll have to wipe all the songs on there as they were recorded in an older version of SonicStage. I'm not gonna wipe off 4000 songs, as I don't have some of the originals anymore.Sooooo, my question is, is there absolutely any way I can play these songs through my PC, and if so, how? Is there a way to install SonicStage 3.4 and get it to work? Or is there a way I can play all my files (which are all in OMA file format) on any other program (WMP, Winamp, anything) without having to change their filename at all (as then they won't work on the VAIO pocket)? Are there files that SonicStage leaves on the PC when it's uninstalled that might corrupt future installations (I've cleaned out all the application data ones and pretty much anything pertaining to Sony on my system)?Any and all help would be wonderfully appreciated. I recently bought a Soundblaster X-Fi soundcard, and it's kinda useless if I can't play any of my music through my PC...Thanks in advance.

prophet_od Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi again.Just to let you all know and for anyone else's future reference, I have sorted out the problem. I found that deleting the registry entries that pertain to OpenMG did the trick and allowed SonicStage to reinstall perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yes, SonicStage 2.1 left a lot of garbage behind. It's all detailed here:http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=8071And, er, you work at a Sony Centre and no one there could help you? Why am I not surprised?
