Sonicstage Workflows

[link187]

Hi,

I have all of my music stored (in individual album folders) in Wav format on my C: Drive.

I want to use atrac lossless. What's the best way to get my music into SonicStage and setting up titles/album art?

Note: I have read some of the sonicstage manual but I'm looking to learn from people who use this software daily.

right, I tried :-

Click “my library”

Change “view” to “All tracks”

Drag & Drop tracks into this window.

Select tracks and go to “convert to lossless” (takes ages so make coffee)

Highlight a group of tracks, right-click and click properties.

Check the “compilation” box and enter the artist, album & composer info (and add cover art).

Repeat for remaining tracks. Done.

Use the album view when transferring to player.

but the album & artist name dissapears immediately. so I tried to click twice (slow double-click & rename but the album name still dissapears...can anyone help?

ANSWER!!!!

Anyone new to sonicstage should avoid dropping folders into the SonicStage Library!

Instead, use "import folder" (made visible by moving the mouse over "music source") and although no albums are automatically created (Sonicstage help says "albums will be automatically created") you can select multiple tracks (in "all tracks" view and enter the details manually (using the 2-click method. The only quirk now is that artist names are lost but this can be fixed by going into "albums" view and using 2 clicks on the artist field...

This should be made sticky as it can help a lot of noobs (like me!)

Ps. This stuff is only relevant for ver. 4.3 (the latest version as of today 21-12-07).
