Hudster Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I have loads of Itunes aac and m4a music, is there any way I can upload this music onto my Hi-MD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 SonicStage has no aac codec. You would need to convert the music to wave files and then import those into SonicStage. Alternatively, if you have burning rights for all the aac files, you could burn them to normal audio CDs and then just rip/import the CDs with SonicStage.

Hudster Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 seems like a long way for a shortcut. I was hoping for some third party software that woudl allow me to import/convert in one touch. I don't really like changing compressed files to wavs, then re-compressing, I feel you would degrade the sound quality even further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I would suggest asking Sony to do it for you then, since they sure as hell aren't going to let anyone else do it for them. edit: Aside from the above, this is how -all- music to be played on Hi-MD works. Everything gets transcoded into atrac3 or atrac3+. The only other format that can be used [in a limited sense] is OpenMG PCM, with which you can copy a CD uncompressed to a Hi-MD. Otherwise everything gets converted to Sony's format. Hi-MD does not natively play AAC, M4A, WMA, MP3, MP2, AAC, DTS, 8-track tapes or microcassettes.

Jimmix Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Maybe you could wait until RealPlayer supports Hi-MD. Because they already suppor iTune's aac files, and they can "transfer" (transcode & transfer) files to Net-MD, but still not to Hi-MD.

doclloyd Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Jimmix, have you tried transferring any itunes aac files (self-ripped or itunes files) to NetMD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breepee Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 If sound quality is top-priority, you could choose to convert your aac to wav and upload in pcm format. No quality loss there, only huge discspace consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmix Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Jimmix, have you tried transferring any itunes aac files (self-ripped or itunes files) to NetMD?I haven't tried it since I sold my NetMD, but it should work since RealPlayer's goal is to the "the plyaer" in which you can hav any kind of file and transfer it to the device of your election (they have a lot of supported devices), hence their recent support to transfer also to iPod. When I had it I did try with mp3 and it did work. It's just a shame that they still dont support Hi-MD :wink: . Hope they will soon.´ Of course i'm talking about not DRM'ed files. Don't know if those will be able to be transfered. :wacky: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
