Atrac CD Creation problems

[olwefin]

Hello all,

i've checked on the forum but i've not found any ansezr to my problem.

Using Sonic stage 4.3, i'm trying to create an atrac cd with multiple music album on it but i'm facing several problems:

1) when trying to create the atrac CD in "one shot", meaning that i'm trying to put on it several albums on it in one shot, Sonic stage start the transfer by converting all atrac files to Atrac 64 bits files. After this translation, Sonic Stage seems to be stuck and doesn't create the cd. I've left the program run the whole night but in the morning it was at the same stage than at the begining of the night.

Is anyone have an idea about this ??

2) I've tried to create the same CD but putting each album one after each other creting atrac CD (on the same CD of course) for each album. The problem is that when i try to put on the forth album, Sonic Stage tells me that i've got no more authorization to transfer the file ( looking at this file, it's told to be atrac cd transfert illimited).

Again, is anyone have an idea about how to solve this problem?

Thanks and best regards

First, do you want to have it do the conversion to Atrac64? If not, you can change that setting by clicking the suitcase icon in the middle of the screen. In there, you can select how the files are handled. Where are these files coming from? If they are MP3 or AAC, then they obviously have to be converted to ATRAC first. If they are ATRAC already, but in a different bitrate, then you may be able to use them directly (depending on the bitrate; not all ATRAC bitrates are allowed on CDs). Regardless, eventually, the CD should have been made by morning. Personally, I was only able to make ATRAC CDs on version 3.4; later versions hang up at 69% completion for me. You may want to install version 3.4. Finally, your last problem (limited transfers) may be related to the source of the files. ATRAC files from the Connect store (I think) can be burned to CD only a limited number of times (even failed attempts count, unfortunately - SonicStage is miserable). If you created the ATRAC files yourself from original CDs, you may want to try deleting your entire library (but not delete the actual files) and re-importing the ATRAC files. For some reason, that can reset the transfer limitation. Note that it does NOT work to reset Connect store song.

Hope some of this works for you.

Hello Guys,

thanks for your answers.

Grenert, my files are coming from audio CDs that i've put in sonic stage in atrac format. Obviousely, even if i've created them in atrac64 bits, Sonic stage seems to need this convertion phase even if the file is already in the right format.

And i'm at the same stage than you for, ST hang up just before burning the CD.

For Sonic stage 3.4, i can find any more the install files. Is it worth to come back to this version regarding version 4.3 ??

How ever has the ATRAC files i'm trying to put on my CD are coming from personal audio CD, i see on the properties of each files that i've got an illimited number of time the rights to transfert them to an Atrac CD. More over, i've tried with a new audio CD that ST did not know about it (so the transfert count was 0 for all theses files) but unfortunately, ST refuses to put this album on my atrac cd telling me that i've got no more the rights to transfert it (even if it was the first time i tried !!!!)

Any way i'm going to try the reset of the library and go for that www.atraclife.com and we'll see.

Thanks guys,
