Welcome to ATRACLife!

It seems that the regional version (usually either EU or US) of SonicStage you have installed requires you to reinitialize your Network Walkman. For future reference, if you do not require CONNECT music service, please try installing the Asia-Pacific version of SonicStage. Most users have reported that the Asia-Pacific version does not require re-initialization of the ATRAC device. I personally utilize the Japanese version and never had to reinitialize any of my ATRAC devices thus far.

Please note this is not a recognition problem per say. This is actually a well-known issue regarding SonicStage's cumbersome re-initialization requirements. There are many discussions about this issue within the "Software" section of the forum – where a user using SonicStage (regardless version number) especially of US or European region are required to initialize their respective ATRAC device for every version update.

If you are updating from a US or European version of SonicStage, you will likely experienced this cumbersome re-initialization issue. At the moment, you will need to re-initialize your device for SonicStage use - especially for the facilitation of ATRAC music. However, if you only employ Mp3s, you may want to check out independent utilities designed by our members, e.g. GYM, ML_SONY and VoidMP3FM.
