Starman Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hello, I have been having a problem with SonicStage over the last few days when I transfer tracks to a minidisc it seems to convert, and transfer. But when it updates the track listing it only lists the tracks length as 0:01. Also when I try to play the track it does not play. I have tried doing a *full* uninstall, and reinstall. I also tried transferring the tracks in different modes (LP2, LP4, and SP) and I have also tried initializing the disc. But still the problem remains. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks!

Mat Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Did you successfully import the files into sonic stage? Or they were 0.01 even before transferring into the MD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 They seemed to import ok, it was just when transfering them to MD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Was this an upgrade from Sonicstage 1.5? If so, uninstall via the directions in the NetMD faq [registry edits and all] and install the client from connect.com. Also, you may want to make sure you have all of your windows updates. http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 No it is a fresh install of 2.0, and I am fully upto date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Starman : have you tried using a different program such as SimpleBurner? coz if it works in that and not SS then it's SS' problem...if it doesn't work on either try reinstalling the drivers...if that don't work then it's probably the unit...

chauncey B Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I am having the exact same problem... The song title transfers, but when i try to play it, it immediately stops; there is no song even there. What I discovered is that when you convert the files to LP2 or whatever, right before you send them to the player, it puts the new OpenMG converted files into a folder called "Optimized Files." My Optimized Files folder was located in My Documents -> Download... but yours may be somewhere different. Just do a search for a folder called "Optimized Files." Anyway, the converted files should be a few Megabytes in size, but all of mine said like 1 kilobyte or 2 kilobytes, etc. Therefore, I believe that the problem is not in sending the converted file to the minidisc, but in the conversion of the file itself. This is all I have figured out, and I would love to know if anyone else has experienced this and knows how to resolve this file conversion issue.

Christopher Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 welcome - Did you try uninstalling via the directions in the NetMD faq and installing Sonicstage 2 from connect.com? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauncey B Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I don't actually know where to find the directions in the NetMD faq, but I did try to uninstall and reinstall Sonicstage... and still had the same problem... But, i did find this in the Sonicstage Readme file: - The following modules are installed as required when SonicStage is installed. Microsoft® Data Access Components 2.5 ©1981-2000 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Microsoft® DirectX® Runtime 9.0b ©2001 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Microsoft® Windows Media Component Setup Application ©1992-2000 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. - Device drivers for portable devices are installed, if required. - When SonicStage is uninstalled using "Add/Remove Programs" in "Control Panel," the above modules are not removed. The OpenMG music database created by SonicStage is also not deleted, and can be found in the folder specified in the program's options settings. i wonder if the fact that these files are not removed could be part of the problem.

Christopher Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Uh, the directions are in the forum you're posting in.. http://forums.minidisc.org/viewtopic.php?t=4171 Do exactly what it says, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauncey B Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Ok, I took your advice and did everything the FAQ said, step by step... Still no luck... This is some unbelievable s**t. When I bought this thing, it worked fine for a long time (Using OpenMG Jukebox or whatever the previous program was called). And then one day it just stopped working. So i checked for updates and it basically said there's this new program (Sonicstage) that I needed to install, to replace OpenMG.... and I figured that after I installed the new program everything would be fine... obviously Not. Anyway, if you come across anything else, I'd definitely appreciate you letting me know.... Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 So you uninstalled the programs and did the registry edits? If you did all of that and then installed Sonicstage from connect.com it should work. What error are you getting now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
