arthamay Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Could some one please help. I am in a panic because i think i just last my last recording trying to edit the tracks... here's what i did. I was in the transfer mode changing names and deleting unwanted tracks... Only one track was highlighted ...clicked ok to delete and then it said it could not delete one or more. All the tracks were still displayed and didn't appear to be deleted. The track info was still there but it would no longer play them. i safely disconnected the md from the computer and pressed play and it says... cannot record or play. Am i screwed ....? anything i can do at this point??????i use windows vista service pk 1 and just installed the sonic stage 4.3. I use the hi md ....no applications were open at the timeps... when i push play and get the "cannot record or play" it then asks if i want to create audio file. what does this mean?

sfbp Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yes 'fraid so. I documented this about 1 month ago. You cannot delete multiple "untitled" tracks.... it simply doesn't grok it.Bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, but stranger things have happened. Too bad you didn't read all the tales of woe from trying to edit and move, just doesn't seem to work.Good luckBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthamay Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 ... you mean highlight the drive and right click?... and look for an undelete? thanks for your help... i think i'm in denileit still shows hma files on my disc... does that mean anything?

arthamay Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 i will try any suggestions at this point... does anyone know of a sonic stage help forum or... hahaha i know they suck but i am desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sorry, no, many have tried to decode the HMA files. No use at all, probably all they contain right now is an encrypted version of blank.Sony Media Services is almost certainly your best bet. With the sob story (after all noone told you not to delete things without titling them first) maybe they will even take pity on you. If they are still in business, I think the charge was around $50 to $75.Good luck!Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthamay Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 thank you for your help... i called and they said that it was a low success rate with hi mds. they charge $50 if they succeed... i will mull that over the weekend. thanks to you again!
