Copyright Information on MP3s

[Alfie]

Now I know this just can't be illegal!

I compose music, mix it down as an MP3, transfer it to my Clie ... but it won't play! Something about copyright information! There are no options when I burn the music to MP3 to enter artist / copyright info. Now the magic gate crap may be fine for some, but there is no way I am even going to install sonicstage twoddle on my pc let alone buy one of those white sticks.

IMO my (wonderful) NR70v is pretty useless for MP3 since it barely stores two farts worth of music, but I had thought it would be great for demo-ing my own compositions.

Help please how change the copyright info on music that I have composed?


Sony oh, Sony oh, wherefore art though Sony - OH!
Busy taking over the world?
No Sony, No Sony, steal my cash, no Sony - NO!

Alfie...are you saving this data to a regular or a magic gate memory stick. I suspect the issue may have to do with your memory stick if it is a magic gate stick you are attempting to save the data to?

What bitrate is the audio set at. I think using an uncompatible bitrate will give that error.

The bitrate should not cause problems. It might be that the sampling rate is not at 44.1khz, the audioplayer will absolutely refuse to play anything not at 44.1.

Also, a few times while i was converting mp3's to different bitrates no matter how i converted, it would just end up with errors on the memory stick and wouldn't play, while the original file worked fine.

This must be it - I record at 48.0KHz (the ONLY frequency offered by my sound card's AudioStreamInputOutput driver). If I use other ASIO drivers - DirectX for example, I get lethal lags of 30 or 40 ms with some of the sampling. I'm really really crap, but even I can hear that time gap. The card did come bundled with a converter, but only for WAVs.

I'm going to try this. Mix into a WAV at 48KHz. Convert it to 44.1KHz with the bundled software (I knew it was for something). Remix it as an MP3 treating the whole thing as a single sample. Let you know if it works.

Thanks for helps...

Fancy that - a record company that is also a computer company

Eeeet Werrks! Thanks

Wonder why the error was about copyright information...

[Spiral]

DBPoweramp is good for converting MP3's.

I think if you read further through the error, it says copyright error and/or the file is incompatible.

Thanks (you know everyhthing about everything)
