Ernesto Abreu Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hello great community, Are there any recover software for Windows XP that recovers sound files, and more specific from Hi-MD (WAV/OMA/OMG) after several formats (regular format during a new clean installation of Windows) on a internal hard drive (internal IDE-HDD) where they were saved all these sound archives? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 The answer is no and yes. No, because Sony intended you to lose them in this situation. Equivalent to moving computers (dumb idea, Sony!). We here have all been running the File Conversion Tool for ages (which will remove the machine- and windows- specific encryption). The problem with that is that it may only work for files that are valid against the encryption keys which you (probably) destroyed with your format, when it is run. The FCT is de rigeur for keeping your files readable by multiple computers on a network, for example. Once you have done it, their extension becomes ".OMA" (instead of ".oma") and this does not need to be repeated. Yes, because someone recently figured out how to get the encryption of the file even though Sonic Stage might not be present any more. It may well be the same as what FCT does, I honestly am not sure. It's also subject to a legal question or two, because Sony has not so far agreed to allow use of any decryption tools made by third parties. Hope this helps Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
