Cannot convert track to wav

[bedwere]

Hi,

I own an MZ-RH910 and I was trying to upload to a Windows computer a track recorded in atrac3plus and convert it to wave using Sonicstage 4.3.

I can play the track on the player using Sonicstage. However, when I transfer the track to the computer, it cannot save it in wav format and I cannot play the track on the computer.

The properties of the file on the MZ-RH910 are the following:

Length 93:59

File size: 189.75 MB (198,967,296 bytes)

Codec ATRAC3plus

Bit rate 256 kbps

Rights info: can be tranferred (unlimited times)

The file on the computer has the following characteristics:

Playback restrictions: None

No. of times played: 0times

No. of times transferred: 0times

Remaining transfer count: Unlimited

Remaining ATRAC CD transfer count: Unlimited

Remaining audio CD transfer count: Unlimited

File size 172.33 MB (180,698,448 bytes)

Bit rate 256 kbps

Sampling rate 44.1 KHz

Copy protection: Available

File Format OpenMg Audio(ATRAC3plus)

Length 93:59

Date imported 2012/07/12 15:15:48

I noticed that length of the files is identical but not the size.

Any idea? Many thanks

Sounds like you have not got the save location for WAV files set properly.

Create a directory on a drive (example: c:convWAV), Right click the file in Sonic Stage display and select the destination you just created. The file should be converted to wav.

If you need to convert automatically on uploading, there is a (relatively hard to find) option under Tools->Options->Transfer->(HiMD)Transfer Settings->Advanced->Import Settings (down at the bottom) where you can set the same folder as your destination. Unfortunately this will not preserve the folder structure you have (albums most probably), but will dump your file(s) into this one directory. So they should be easy to find.

If you were doing all of this, try to explain to us what exactly goes wrong and what error you see. So far you haven't done that.

it cannot save it in wav format and I cannot play the track on the computer.

doesn't tell me much, unfortunately.

The sizes are about Windows minimum cluster size... don't take any notice of that.
