theblueraja Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I'm running Sonic Stage 4.3 I believe, and I recently bought a 500gb "My Book" so I can back up my music. I have discovered, however, that if I reinstall Sonic Stage and re-import all of my media (albums in the Packages section) that more than half of the album art ends up MISSING. When I search the folder that contains all of the art (I forget what its called but it starts with an "F" I believe), the art is actually THERE, but in the import process the connection (or link) is lost. Is there a more sure way of backing up my ATRAC library and retain the assigned artwork??I also find it annoying that it somehow doesn't keep all the manual tag changes I've made... for instance, if an artist has a few tracks where the artist name is theirs, but "featuring Joe Smith" etc, I manually deleted the "featuring" part so in my Artist search there won't be so many entries, etc... but when re-importing, it goes back to the original tags that came when the CD was first ripped to Sonic Stage.Can anyone help? I thought of just duplicating the entire Sonic Stage directory, or even installing Sonic Stage ON to the back up hard drive, but I have a feeling Sony has a lot of tag/ID info stuff for copyright issues, plus Windows issues, etc...

Strungup Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 My Empathy Raj , this is the only area where I can say iTunes has it down pat. I have changed hardrives several times reinstalled the OS , and EVERYthing , open iTunes get it set up to NOT add files to the iTunes folder when importing , then go to the iTunes foldr on the external drive , Drag it to iTunes and it imports everything , EVERYTHING , organizes reloads the artwork and everything.Without filling the folder on the computer, Beautifullthen I hit Front Row , with my remote control , and I am watching Podasts and Movies.
