Dunno who's interested, but did you know SS3.2 allows ATRAC3Plus 192kbps transfer to the HD3? Beforehand you could only transfer ATRAC3Plus in 64 or 256. I wish they'd add the ability to transfer at 128 however. They also now allow importing from CD in 96, 128, 168, 192 and 320. As I...

Oh great, this just gets better and better. I uninstalled SS 3.0 (US version) and reinstalled 2.3 (European version), as Sony suggested. All my tracks can play OK in SS 2.3, but when I connect my HD3 it says "The ATRAC audio device cannot be used with this version of SonicStage". It...

I recently downloaded SonicStage 3.0, but I've just realised that it's the US version. Does anyone know of any problems I might get when I install the UK/European edition when it's released? I'm paranoid about having to redo my whole CD collection if something goes wrong. Yes, I have a...

Quote: Originally Posted by mavis It is also worth mentioning that a number of songs didn't transfer at all, due to uncommon characters in the file name. For example, none of my Björk transfered, due to the "ö" I guess. All of my Tool transfered except for the Ænima CD, again due to the...

Can someone tell me what the point of initializing the hard drive is? Is it just a quick way of deleting everything, or does it serve some other purpose as well?
