Converting .wav files to ATRAC3.

[VERM]

New to this board. Just wondering if there is anybody out there who is conversant using SonicStage.

I got one of the new SONY VAIO VGF-AP1L POCKET Music Storage Devices for XMAS and i'm absolutely at my wits end as to how to utilise the bundled SonicStage 2.1 software to transfer my .WAV files to ATRAC3 so as to be able to export them onto the SONY device. When i try to convert the .WAV files to ATRAC3, an error message tells me that the format of the files i'm trying to convert is not supported by SonicStage 2.1. This however has been categorically denied by SONY Support Center. I flat refuse to call them again, as after you have spoken to them once and registered your product, you get charged per support call. I flat refuse to make these corporate giants richer than they already are just because their products are not up to scratch.

Any responses/help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ian.
