Guest Stuge Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Welcome to AtracLife !Unfortunately,you cannot play files which are present on the cd on PC separately and neither Sonic stage will allow you to add more music to the Atrac Cd's ,which were made before the reinstallation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dura_ Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 The file>import music file in SS doesn't work either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnUnCoolCat Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Nah, you are gonna have to bit the old bullet there..Assuming the content of those discs is still available in other original forms, reconstruct ATRAC files from source and keep em archived somewhere (remember, DO NOT COPY PROTECT).Otherwise, it's grab em (non-ATRAC) copies from whereever... , or connect the output of your ATRAC CD player (assuming you still possess one) and record (destructively, sadly) back to PC and import the cut recording segments to SS and make suitable ATRAC's out of them. If you possess the means to defeat the SCMS on the ATRAC CD deck, use a optical --> optical link... if the deck possessed an optical output.Better still, however you get the audo back into SS, maybe it's worth using WMA LSL for keeping your original library copies stored in (remember, don't copy protect). That's suggested as whilst you use DRM-free encodings in WMA LSL, there's zero issue importing on a whim any time to SS at a later date.You aint alone, believe me, i'd bet everyone who possessed or used an ATRAC CD Wallkman fell foul of the one-way only nature of the .ATP files used on the ATRAC CD discs. I did, sadly, and it was my demo disc of audio restorations that ended up there, after i had a serious mishap and lost my remastered/restored analogue transfers kept on Audio CD. Add countless lost hours due to ferked up Audio CD's (a fire destroyed em and the original recordings), on top of the prob you are facing, and you sure feel like doing something drastic... *looks for a suitable victim, and spots an iP*d owner....passing by* Good luck, and here's hoping you sort some alternative to the destructive recording route.Be Cool, or at least don't let the inner demons steer your choices 'Tom Kat' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
