convert MP3 to Atrac3

[Beemer]

I have just bought a Sony MZ-710 minidisc recorder/player. I am aware of Sony not now supporting ATRAC but thought that I could transfer my MP3 files from my computer to the MZ-710 using SonicStage CP ver 4.3.01.14050. This conversion process starts then says 100% then I get a message

"Unable to transfer the track or tracks"

- Track name

On the MZ-N710 screen I see PC >>MD

Can this be fixed?

Try this out:

i) Import the MP3 file into Sonicstage

ii) Right click on the file in My Library and click on CONVERT TO

iii) Choose LP2 for encoding (or LP4)

The progress bar should show the file being "optimized". Once this is done, then connect the MD to PC, and transfer

Roger,

I tried your suggestion and the track seemed to be converted. I connected the usb and tried to transfer. I get:

These tracks cannot be transferred

Unable to transfer track or tracks

However I previously saw that tracks got renamed with the word "copy" I think and did not see this in the library. I now see that converted tracks are stored elswhere but I cannot import them as I get the omgjbox.exe crash even although I am running XP SP2

Is there a better way to manage the folders which SonicStage 4.3 uses?
