Kazuma Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Hi, I just discovered this forum and find it quite useful, but still one big problem I'm facing currently can't be solved by reading the articles.I bought an NW-E016F yesterday, together with SS 4.3. When I import my music, three situations emerge:1) The music file is imported in the format of MP3, playback and transfer both get no problem2) The music file is imported in the format of WMA, playback for most songs are not OK. I mean, when I double clicked the file, nothing happens. (Only for one or two songs playback is successful). As for transfer, almost all failed with a dialog box saying "Transfer is not allowed" (What makes me not understand is that all of them are not copyright protected) After reading a previous article in the article, I tried the method of converting the WMA files into ATRACT3PLUS, and all transfer after converting is successful.3) T_T HELP!! Quite a large number of my MP3 files, after importing are recognized as "Unknown format", playback results in nothing happening. Transfer fails saying " Cannot load the rights information for the selected tracks. The file format may not be supported by SonicStage." - All of them can be played using other programs (WMA, Media Center), and can also be transfered and stored on IPOD by using Itunes. - I tried to open them in programs like GoldWave and save them as MP3 format, but it doesn't help either. - I redownloaded some of them from Internet again, and found that only when I set SS as default player and choose "Open" instead of "Save" before downloading, playback can be done. However, after some time when I was to transfer them to my walkman, it said "files cannot be found" (I think it's because they are stored as temporary file) It will be really crazy for me to download all of them again and this might not help either in the end... I'm really frustrated with SS 4.3, 2 or 3 years ago when i use SS 2.0 such things never occured. Anyone knows how to solve this problem ??? Thanks very much!!!!(My OS is Vista Home Premium, sorry if you find my language strange, English isn't my first language ) Edited June 3, 2007 by Kazuma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Ikeda Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Yes, the problems you are having are bizarre. Some of the problems that you mentioned I have encounters. MP3 playlists can not be imported into SonicStage. Make sure that the files are MP3 audio files, and not playlists. However, you seem to not be doing this.SonicStage can be temperamental at times.- Download the MP3 to your harddrive (you have already done this)- Drag and drop the files into SonicStage (ensure that it is an MP3)"files cannot be found"- It is important that files are not moved, rename, or deleted without using SonicStage after being imported. Did you do this?- check that the track properties for the correct directory path, for the files that give you this error.- If the files are missing in the directory that SonicStage believe that they are in. Delete the tracks and reimport them. - There is another method, but it is more difficult to operate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuma Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Thx very much, Ikeda!100% sure they are MP3...I tried dragging them into SS but cannot..But....It's really BIZARRE!!!I changed the name of a Japanese song into English, and imported again, everything's OK!What's strange is that some of the songs with Japanese characters in their name can be played without changing.In fact before this I have already followed the "Titleing Japanese..." and changed the AreaCode in Registry to 40000--|||Really can't understand what's going on -__- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuma Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 And .. I really wonder how about those songs with English names? How am I going to change them ???? Into Japanese conversely ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Ikeda Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 And .. I really wonder how about those songs with English names? How am I going to change them ???? Into Japanese conversely ? So you are in Japan then? Or, are you using an English system. I am a little confused.- The songs that are being imported into SonicStage uses the Japanese character system.- What is ????? Are they the characters that are displayed in SonicStage.Could we have more information on the type of MP3 that you are importing, the default language of your system.

Zizone_ Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 And .. I really wonder how about those songs with English names? How am I going to change them ???? Into Japanese conversely ? Umm, I am confused about your question. Is your SonicStage not displaying English title or is it Japanese title? Also, like Shinji asked, are you using Japanese Windows and Japanese SonicStage? I am using Japanese Windows and Japanese SonicStage and have no problem with songs in Japanese and English. It is very odd that you can play English titles but not all the songs in Japanese titles? (did I get this right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I changed the name of a Japanese song into English, and imported again, everything's OK!What's strange is that some of the songs with Japanese characters in their name can be played without changing.Perhaps you meant to say that you've changed the filename of the Mp3 files in question from Japanese to English (i.e. あいうえお.mp3 --> aiueo.mp3) in an English OS environment using English version of SonicStage?And .. I really wonder how about those songs with English names? How am I going to change them ???? Into Japanese conversely ? You should never have to in either a Japanese or English OS environment.

Kazuma Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Really thank all of you for helping me Luckily, the problem has been sovled.Previously I mentioned that the problem is some of the MP3 files are recognized as Unknown Format by SS after importing, playback and transfer are both unsuccessful. Then, accidently I changed the name of a file which is originally named in Japanese, and found that everything was OK after importing it.So I tried to change some more files which are named in Japanese into English. However, I found that some of them still cannot be played or transfered after chnging the name of the file.Also, I asked a question in my previous post which sadly made u confused (T_T My poor English...). The question was "If files named in Japanese can be played and transfered after changing the names, then what should I do with the files named in English. " Some of the files which met the bizarre problem are named in English, so I asked should I change them into Japanese conversely? What I said above is about entire problem ....Then I found the reason for the problem last night:I bought my laptop in Singapore, it is using the English OS. However, I set the regional language (something like this) in the Control Panel to China, because when I use some chatting programs made by China, my English OS can't display the Chinese characters properly.My SS is also in English. What really caused the problem is that some of my music folders are named in Chinese. When I import, the path of the file being imported then, contains Chinese characters. I think it must be due to this the files are recoginzed as Unknown Format. So this explains the problem I mentioned in the 3rd paragraph.In the end, I changed all the folder names into English, and changed the file names which contain Japanese characters into English, everything went to well. (But still, I have to change the Japanese file names into English, it's quite troublesome) ... the whole problem is like this... I think ...
