Sonicstage 4.3 doesnt show my music folder

[supergojira]

A very peculiar problem when trying to transfer tracks from my xp laptop to the nw-3000, when choosing the folders i want sonicstage to monitor it shows me virtually every folder on my pc EXCEPT my music

C:documents and settings/andrew/my documents/

then i have a choice of a few folders within my documents but not the default my music folder?????

Am I the only person to have this insanely frustrating problem? Weirdly I can add single files from the folder but not the folder itself, sony makes the worst software in the world.

Probably your best bet is to user File => Scan Folder and add your music folder as a marked folder in the dialog box. This way and time you add new files to that location you only need to File Import => Scan Folder again to gave the application look for new files that are not already in the library.

Alternatively use Ctrl-O to open files and select multiple files.

Hello Supergojira,

The problem that you are having is missing some information. What do you mean by monitor? What version of SonicStage are you using?

With SonicStage version 4.2/4.3 it is possible to drag and drop an entire folder.

It is hard to determine what is your frustration, since many of the problems that you are currently having have clear solutions in SonicStage.

Hi peeps thanks for the replies. To explain better heres a pic:

The word monitor was probably misleading, I literally cannot import this folder through File>Import>Scan Folder>Settings even though it quite obviously exists on my pc, interestingly you will see from the image that 'My Videos' and 'My Pictures' are missing also?

Does that make more sense?

Looking at the image from your computer the problem does not make any sense. Stupid Question, are you sure that the path is correct? Even if the 'My Music' folder is hidden on my computer it still shows up in SonicStage.

You are currently trying to import files into SonicStage. This makes sense.

Your other option is to drap-and-drop 'My Music' into SonicStage. This will however take some time.

Hi Shinji thanks for the quick reply, I was out the office yesterday but in all day today. Yeas the path is definitely correct as the archive folders you see there are in the same location as my music my videos etc, even if i check 'C' to import everything on my pc it doesnt pick up my mp3s??? I'm sure I can be the only person with this problem, and even on my work pc it does exactly the same thing, I really can't think what else to do other than as you say dragging and dropping my music.

hey i think i may be in the wrong thread so if someody could direct me.... anyways im changing from connect player to sonic stage CP 4.something (sorry cant remember). will i have to re sync my NW-A1000 and set a new library up? should i uninstall connect first. And lastly will my walkman still have full features? i had Sonicstage before and had to wipe my walkman's hardive.

So, It can be suspected that all the folders are displayed when using Windows Explorer, including the archive folders. You seem to have an unique problem. Are where any privileges added to the folders of the directory?

[supergojira]

Shinji yes with windows explorer I can see all the relevant folders such as 'My Music', 'My Videos' and so on, I actually work in an IT capacity myself at my fathers workplace and i cant figure it out, I'm just wondering whether there is some option with in xp to deny access to certain folders but I really cant get my head round this. What do you mean by priviliges exactly?

[Shinji Ikeda]

Your problem does not make sense. It is hard to determine why these folders are not visible in SonicStage. The software can search any folder even the ones that are hidden or protected.

Are there My Music folders in the various backup folders that you have.

Option and privileges are the same thing. Are there any settings/options that are set that denies access to a folder for a user?

supergojira, very queer problem indeed.

what version of SS are you using? Doesnt look like 4.3 to me!

Why dont you upgrade to that... plus, why not just move all your music files to the root directory - ie C:\ and see if SS picks it up.

[supergojira]

Hello people sorry I've been away on a gambling blowout the last week, I am using 4.3 Roger I can asuure you and I'm not going to start messing about with my mp3s into my root directory because Sony cant be arsed developing professional software, I'm back to using the ml_sony plugin with winamp which is quicker, more user friendly and better for access speed on the unit. Would never buy a Sony product again.
