peterjf Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Evening all,During many years of trouble with SonicStage, the one program in the suite that has always worked well and with no issues is the Backup tool.Until tonight that is...After a system crash last night, I had to perform a Windows System restore. As a precaution, I tried to restore my meticulously backed-up SonicStage library tonight. However, I cannot get the necessary online authentication of the database that enables the restore to take place. All I get is an error message: "Failed to restore the rights information. (Code: %x)"And before anyone asks, there is no copy protection on any of my files. My PC is running Windows XP with SonicStage version 4.2.Now I know that Sony have stopped supporting SonicStage anywhere outside Japan. However, since they pulled the plug on SonicStage, I have managed to use the restore tool successfully.Has anyone else had this issue? Is it just a case of the authentication server being down or have Sony got rid of it completely? (I would be surprised if that were the case, given that they still support the software in Japan.)Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Contrast Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) hum i´ve just tried doing and everything is ok, but i´m using another version of SS, the SS for connect store, wich you don t need to download if from the net, maybe this is why mine still working, but if you want to restore your music, just go to the option ´´Import folder´´ and select the folder of you backup, it will import all tracks in there with names and cover arts!

peterjf Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks for your reply.I have certainly got the option of re-importing the ATRAC files as a last resort, but I was hoping to avoid having to do this as the library is about 95% compilations and I really do not want to have to go through 12,000 tracks one at a time to re-tick the 'compilation' box for every one.Good to know the server is still active - perhaps it is my internet connection.Thanks again!

I have tried re-installing my Windows Security, re-installing SonicStage and have made specific Windows Firewall exceptions for SonicStage. My Internet connection is as it should be (hence my being able to post here) and still I get the error message.What version do you use? Searching Minidisc for SonicStage gives versions 3.4 and 4.0.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
