Steve... Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 In addition to the usual PC -> MD transfer, SonicStage is also capable of burning ATRAC Cds & regular Audio CDs & the new upcoming version (2.0) is capable of reading CD text as well as MP3 cds!!! Of course ATRAC Cds can only be made on SonicStage that came with an ATRAC Cd walkman, and the rest of the features (ie. cd burning) only come with SonicStage installed on Sony VAIO computers :x Would it be wrong to presume that this setting could be overided with a few registry tweaks? Or does sony release different versions for different operating environments? Perhaps someone would even be nice enough to provide a copy of the SonicStage VAIO version!

highlandsun Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Hm... I installed SonicStage 2.0 on my VAIO laptop, so maybe my findings are invalid. But, I see that Windows Media Player is able to play OMG files, and also allows burning them to CD. For anyone who'se familiar with the DirectX SDK and the GraphEdit program, I should point out that OpenMG comes with a DirectShow filter that takes OMG files as input and spits out audio as output. But (so far) it only works if the output is the Default DirectSound device, it crashes if you try to dump it with the Dump filter or write it with the WAV Dest filter. I'm pretty sure this filter is what WMP uses; other programs that use DirectX for audio support will probably also work. WinAMP 5 doesn't.

Steve... Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Yeah on that note i got OMG files to play in Windows Media Player - but it comes up with an error message first saying that OMG is not a recognised file format. But it plays anyway. I'm not sure about the OMG CD burning in windows media player... i must give that a try! I know that the Nero plugin for windows media player doesn't support OMG. Now if only someone were to come up with an ATRAC3 plugin for Nero! Or even better - a plugin/decoder/encoder to allow you to edit OMG files with Goldwave or your wave editing software - I don't think the Direct Show Filter allows this - at least not on my PC...

highlandsun Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 There is already an ATRAC3 ACM codec for Windows. But you still need the decryption/encryption functionality to be able to read/write OMG files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
