Atrac3plus & SonicStage acting weird!
 

I have recently bough a sony cd player (D-NE320) that plays atrac, mp3, and regular cds. With this cd player came a program called "SonicStage".
Well i followed the directions on how to burn an atrac3plus cd. I transfer like 230 songs and i change the settings to make the format "Atrac3plus 48kbps, then on the tranfer mode i set it to "Minimum Bit rate transfer mode" and make it burn at 16X (which is the highest it can go anyway).
Well i dont like to stick arround and wait for it to burn, so i left to go do something. When i came back, The program wasnt even open and the cd was still blank! :confused: I dont know why this is happening it really pisses me off cuz it takes me so long to select the damn songs. Oh and like 60 of the songs were inside the "Optimized Files" folder. So i uploaded those songs in that folder that were already converted and then i burned them with the same setting, the burning was fast because the songs had already been converted. Well all the 60 songs were on the cd and when i play it then sound way faster than normal and with strange sounds all over the place.

The cd player came with the 2.3 version of Sonic Stage.
The cds i am using are Memorex CD-R 52X 700mb 80 min etc.
Any help would be greatly apreciated, thanks.

You could try to upgrade the software. My father has a MiniDisc, and I too had problems with the damn thing (I still have in fact, and now I can't even get the bloody thing to work on my PC). They weren't the same as yours, though. Anyway, I use v3.4 (http://forums.minidisc.org/downloads...ls.php?file=21, full installer, some 20MBs) on my dad's laptop and there's now v4 (http://dl1.aii.co.jp/contents/connec...eInstaller.exe, one of those stupid installers which are only a few Kbs but then download tens of megabytes from the internet). This might help... v2 was flaky, if I remember correctly.

And don't ever, Ever, EVER manually delete the library information (stored somewhere in the Application Data folder of your user) - I did that, and now even though I re-installed a later version the damned thing will tell me that there's something wrong with the library and won't fix it. I hate Sony...
