Descyciede,

SonicStage will not allow you to import Copy protected cd`s .

You import your copy procted cd`s via Windows Media Player or Jet Audio or Any other software .

[Descyciede]

and how do i do that

and how do i do that

Import your Cd using Jet Audio 6 or Windows media player in .Wav OR Mp3 format then import those tracks in SonicStage & convert them into Atrac(if you like )

You may also use MD Simple Burner to transfer the protected CDs to MDs direct.

I've used SS to import one copy-controlled CD so far. Haven't tried others yet, but the one I did (A Perfect Circle's aMotion bonus CD, EMI/Virgin copy-protection) ripped fine to ATRAC3plus in SS... I was surprised, but it worked...

[Descyciede]

thats one of the cd's ive tryed but didnt work

others are joss stone- soul sessions and mind,body and soul

perfect circle emotive and thirteenth step and chemical brothers singles 93-03

with ss.2.? it wasnt a problem at all

]I have tried two copy protected cd`s first Narnia (Music Inspired ) & Norah Jones (Come away with me ) both by EMI but SonicStage give error with both of them.

Can anyone answer if "burned" CD can be imported into SS ?

I am having trouble getting a cd I made into SS. ref attached pic for error

Bascially, I am looking to see if I can import a cd (copied/storebought music) and then transfer to Vaio Pocket and still be able to get GYM to import back onto computer.

Any help?

If understood you correctly then why don`t you import your Copy protected cd as .wav then made a audio cd out of those .wav files then you can easily import that audio cd with out getting that error .

Another ripper is Audiograbber". It is free, very fast and easy to understand. I can't remember that I ever have failed in ripping copy protected CDs with that program. You get wav-files and can import them to Sonicstage. The problem however is that Sonicstage then doesn't seek CD info. If you first copy them back to a rewritable CD and then import to Sonicstage, then all works perfectly.

Yes, I know those options work as well, but if you ask me its pretty cumbersome.....and after organizing and renaming all my tracks, albums, atrists, titles, genre.

Thus far I have organized 15GB of music ....what does the mean...well lets break down the numbers: [ 15GB * 1024MB(=1GB) ] / 5MB/song = 3072 songs.....12/CD = 256 albums roughly!! ....so yea, I would like some method of doing it quickly rather than, rip cd to computer, import from computer, transfer to player ...but it looks like I am S.O.L.

PS - Audiograbber is great, I use it too.

I agree. If you have minidisc the newest version of MD Simple Burner can handle most copy protected discs. That is rather strange in my opinion.

A way that I haven't tried, but should work is to first copy to minidisc with Simple Burner (if you have a minidisc of course) and the back to Sonicstage, and then to your device.

Also that is cumbersome, but I think a little faster than ripping methods.

The best would be if next version of Sonicstage could handle copy protected discs ac MD Simple Burner can.

I would guess the likely outcome is the next version of MD Simple Burner (if it ever get updated) will be unable to handle most of copy controlled discs as is now.

Then I must have been lucky. Every copy controlled CD I tried could be handled by MD Simple Burner that came with SS 3.3 Earlier versions could not handle my copy protected CD's.
