BrianConey Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hi guys. I've been using previous versions of SonicStage for a while and finally got round to download 4.0 yesterday. I uploaded many songs into the 'My Library' section and naturally went about putting them onto my MP3 Player (NW-A3000).Normally, this is straightforward, but it only allowed for me to click 'Transfer to ATRAC CD', and above that was a white space normally where 'Transfer to MP3 Player', or whatever it would say. When I click on it, it goes into the section but instead of loading the artists from the MP3 Player it says 'Device/Media not connected', when it actually is!I've no idea how to solve this and have uninstalled and re-installed a few times, to no resolve. Is there any solution to this? Any advice/help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiPod Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 hi, i have had similar problems before, but what i do is open the sonicstage FIRST, then connect the device through usb, it always works in my case by doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSP62 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Your USB cable or port may have gone bad.Try plugging into another port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianConey Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Oh, I have just realised what a USB Hub is: I thought you just meant a USB port in the computer itself.By the way, could the fact that when installing SonicStage, that an error comes up saying "PX Engine Updater has encountered and must close" be the reason behind this problem??Thanks in advance!

richardrc Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I am having the exact same problem. I have two devices, one NW-HD3 which used to work flawlessly and one new one, the NW-E005F. Now both cannot connect with SonicStage 4.0. I never had this problem with SS 3.0 or 2.0 I think their Version 4.0 is screwed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianConey Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hello, once again. This problem has since returned. I continue to uninstall and re-install, but SonicStage refuses to recognize the player...Any new suggestions? Any help is really appreciated.

Robinconsa Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I have same problem. I have tried everything suggested in the threads (and from other forum) but still no go. The onlly thing I haven't be able to do is to delete the sptd file from registry - I don't seem to have one.Sony suggested the following: Make sure you are logged in with an administrator account- Right click on [My Computer] on the desktop and select [Properties]Or- Click [start] and select the [Control Panel]- Double click on [system]- Once in the [system Properties], select the [Hardware] tab at the top- Click on the button marked [Device Manager] You will then be displayed a window showing all components connected to your computer, so make sure your MP3 player is connected at the point. - Click on the [+] button located next to the [universal Serial Bus Controller] section- Under the list, you will see the MP3 player listed under [uSB Mass Storage Device]- Right click on the device and select [uninstall]- Select [Yes] to remove the device- Restart your computer with the MP3 player still connected- When the computer has restarted, wait for the hardware installation to completeThat didn't make any difference and they have now suggested I initalise the device. I will probably try but I have read eslewehre that this doesn't always work, in which case I will be left with nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinconsa Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I did initialise and the device is now recognised. Restore from backup was less than 100% but thats another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalgimp Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Hello, I am having exactly the same problem. I have tried the recommendations above, but my Device/media is still not being recognised by SonicStage.I am using SonicStage 4.3 and have a Sony NWA3000, I had been succesfully transferring music from SonicStage to my mp3 for some time (since September last year), but for some reason it has decided to go tits up on me in the past few weeks. I have tried to remedy the problem with the following:-Initialize disk -uninstall/re-install SonicStage 4.3and a few measures mentioned previously in the thread. Frustratingly SonicStage is still not detecting my NWA-3000!!!! Also, I am having a problem with SonicStage itself, whenever I try to Exit SonicStage, the program itself does not shut down completely, and if I open Task Manager, it can still be seen to be running (and taking up 90%+ of my CPU). I believe these problems may be related but I have no idea how to fix it. Any help with this would be great thanks! I am getting desperate here!!

Shinji Ikeda Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 bumpHuh?SonicStage can be a resource hog at times. So, Windows recognizes it as a removable media and through explore you can copy files to the NW-A3000. Have you removed any media from your optical drive?Try to see what happens when only SonicStage is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyesi Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I seem to be having the same or similar problems to metalgimpNW-A3000, SS 4.2-4.3, XP no usb hubused to work fine, but now SS wont recognise the device, only thing thats changed recently is i installed a new removable 500gb HDDwindows recgnises it fine as sony HDD, can explore it, and other programmes see it as a removable HDDnow the wierd bit, when i connected previously it auto booted SS fine, now it either loads the 'autoplay' box and messes about, or loads my camera pic viewing/downloading software, which can view the drive. checked and the autoplay option for the device/drive is not enabled and windows is still saying SS is the default for my player?anyone got any ideas how i can get ss to recognise my player again, bored of the tracks now!

Avrin Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 This may be a drive letter conflict. Change the letter of the new removable drive to, say, Z:, and connect the player again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyesi Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) i have exactly the same problem and also have a NW-A3000, any new ideas?I took a risk and re-initialised my NW-A3000 (format it through the player menu), and it did fix my issue, PC recognised it then, and could re-load all my tunes. Still doesnt load SS when i connect, but can live with starting that manually big risk is if it doesnt fix it, you have a player with no tunes on and no way to load them Edited November 29, 2007 by eddyesi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperpringle Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 will it work if i copy the omgaudio folder with all the songs and info onto my comp, then copy it back after initialising the player, because i dont have all the songs on my mp3 backed up???
