T.W.G Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Hi,I've got a problem with my little baby. I have a MZ-RH1 connected to a Mac (Intel) running OS 10.4.x with Hi-MD-Music Transfer 2.x installed.I can export the recorded files without any problems but when I try to import MP3s to the RH1 it says on nearly all MP3-files: "Download failed! The source data can not be read!"I just had 4 files that he importet properly. :-(What's wrong with that? I checked the files and they are ok as they're all in the same mp3-format, no file lock or s.th. else.I can't understand the logic behind this behaviour?!

If they are subscription MP3 Rh1 might not agree with you . safest MP3 16 bit /44.1 khz sample rates = Happy RH1 next up 24 bit/44.1 khz = RH1 has to work hard 16 bit/48 khz sample =RH1 doesnt like you anymore 24 bit /48khz sample = RH1 leaving you and joining the Circus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.W.G Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 safest MP3 16 bit /44.1 khz sample rates = Happy RH1My MP3s are all the same: 16bit, 44,1kHz, 160kbit/s unprotected (my own library ripped from my CDs). And the RH1 is still unhappy with this :-(Any ideas? 325 Euros for such a thing is much money ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.W.G Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 wow , ok no answer , mine doesnt do that , What software did you use to convert to MP3?I converted it on iTunes and it plays on every other mp3-compatible system :-(I can't understand this ... I already reinstalled the Sony-Software on my Mac but nothing changes. I don't have any idea regarding this and it's very awful because my lovely vaio pocket hit the floor a few days ago :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoGeR Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 How are you transferring it to the RH1? Are you importing into Sonicstage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.W.G Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 How are you transferring it to the RH1? Are you importing into Sonicstage?No, as you can read: It's all on the Mac! I import the recorded files to my Mac-Desktop (this works without problems) but when I want to import a MP3 to the RH1 using Hi-MD-Music-Transfer I get the error-message mentioned above. He doesn't like my MP3s :-(What I even don't understand: The MP3s are all in the same format and some (2 out of 50) are recognized and transferred to the RH1?!

T.W.G Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 So, today I visited a german Apple-Seller (right word for this?) "Gravis" and they where so kind to let me try out the Sony on one of their Macs.And it was exactly the same behaviour: I took the MP3s from my computer and it said the same error message :-(I think I'm gonna sell the RH1. That's too much money for a unit where only half of the features are working :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too much money for a unit where only half of the features are working :-(it might be worth checking/rewriting the id3 tags... personally i haven't had any problems on our G5, but in Windows SonicStage has problems with tags sometimes.

bobt Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Try cinverting with something other than itunes and see what happens. Also, try putting the CD direct to MD and see what happens, sonds like you have an ID or DRM issue, not the RH1's faultBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
