whenigodeaf Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi there.I'll try and keep this short. Basically I can't transfer my library onto my new HD5, and when I try to play a track from my library it gives me the "invalid rights management" message. The background is that my original HD5 got nicked, so I bought a replacement on eBay, but during the library transfer (which was going all fine) my computer turned off (no battery power, and the lead got knocked), which seemed to screw the HD5, so I got a second replacement from eBay. I didn't realise that the power shut down also effects the DRM and now I'm having these above problems.The second problem is that I would happily cut my losses and re-rip my cd collection from scratch, but SonicStage won't even let me do that (I have iTunes and that is letting me do it, but SonicStage isn't).Please help! And please try and keep the language reasonably un-techy, I'm a bit of a simpleton on that front!Thank you if you can advise.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pata2001 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Try re-initializing your HD5. This will erase all content on your HD5.If you're ready to re-rip your CDs, here's a couple things to do:1. Re-install Sonicstage. Make sure you use Asia Pacific version of Sonicstage. Other versions like US are plagued with DRM initialization issues with Atrac AD devices.2. Use version 4.2/4.3.3. Make sure you disable copy protection when you rip your CDs to Atrac. This will eliminate many of potential problems later on, including backups. Of course, you can always rip to MP3 instead and not having to worry about DRM.4. Gotta love Sony huh. Remember that Sony is stopping support for Sonicstage and Atrac outside Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whenigodeaf Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Thanks pata2001, much appreciated.Unfortunately, it's not worked, the same problems are persisting.I installed the 4.3 Asia Pacific version but when I try to play a track it gives me "cannot play this track, licensing information cannot be retrieved", and when I try to rip a cd, it says an error has occurred (type 0000178d-4603, which I'll google now, see if I can solve it).Has anybody got any ideas?! So annoying, all because my sodding cable came out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whenigodeaf Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 By the way, the HD5 was new so there was nothing on it in the first place, so no need to re-initialise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
