martybartfast Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I have some radio shows in .mp3 format, when I import them into SonicStage they show in my library but show a length of 0.00. They will play O.K. from my library and when I go to upload them to my NWA3000 it goes through the motions (and takes ages), but the tracks are NOT on the walkman at the end of the process. All other utilities I've tried (Windows Explorer, iTunes) show the correct program length in the properties and will also play them O.K.They're encoded at 32kbps, mono; everything was working fine up until a couple of weeks ago and as far as I'm aware nothing has changed in the format of the .mp3 files.Anyone any idea what the problem with SS (v4.3) might be?TIA for any help.Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then delete them from SonicStage, and select the checkbox "Delete this file from the computer". Re download the file from the site, and re-import the new version into SonicStage. Something maybe wrong with the file header with the other programs seem to able to correct for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a link to it that you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybartfast Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Well I've made progress. As there was only 800MB free on the walkman I deleted some other tracks, to free up 3.3GB.I then did a scan for errors (& automatically repair) in Explorer.I was then able to import everything that I had previously been unable to.HOWEVERThe tracks in the "My Library" pane still show as length 00:00, but the same track in the "ATRAC Audio Device" pane shows the correct length - strange! Just for the record these were captured from a network stream, and not podcasts, so they're no longer available online.Anyway thanks for your assistance.Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
