Suddenly SonicStage 3.3 asks to initialize A1000

[metal]

I have installed SS3.3 to transfer tracks to HiMD.

I then purchased A1000 and installed CP 1.0.02.xxx (included in the package) and after a few hours of using CP, I decided to use SS3.3 to transfer tracks to A1000 and no problems for a month or so since then.

Recently, I have enabled the autoupdate of CP and as expected CP updates to 1.0.03.xxxx.

Then I connect A1000 to CP (to see if CP displays mix artists properly).

After then, I connect A1000 via SS3.3 and the message saying that 'This version of SonicStage cannot use the ATRAC device and require to delete all tracks or initialize the device' (or something like that as I can't recall the exact wording).

I've read other threads and note some members encountered this message when upgrading to SS3.4.

As I'm still using SS3.3, any advice on what had happened? Is this I'm now stuck and cannot transfer tracks to A1000 using SS3.3 anymore?

Connect might have chnaged some files on A1000 .So that`s why Sonic Stage is not recognising it instead it doesn`t give permission to use it with Sonic Stage ver3.4 .

Try To installSonicStage ver3.4 & See what happens then...

I'll do that when a full installer is available, but I tend to feel that it probably won't help.

It seems that CP has changed some settings in A1000 making it now unrecognised by SS.

Luckily I have enough songs transferred in my device and in the end I can still use CP to transfer files, though I prefer not to use that horrible software (reeeal slooooow - it takes about 5 minutes to delete 15 tracks from A1000).
