Are You Troubled by a Slow Computer?
Sony Connect (SonicStage) 3.3
User reviews of Sony Connect (SonicStage) 3.3
Huge and poorly constructed
Pros: Will rip to multiple formats
Will (eventually) do as told
The Sony Hardware it is designed to work with is brilliant.
Cons: Instalation is huge and unintelligent
Don't spend 15 minutes downloading directx I tell it but it has not checked and it does not listen when I tell it I have already got a perfectly good directx.
After loading I spend a few fruitless hours before I discover that I can only download microphone recordings if I save them to the desktop. Sonic Stage insists my hard drive either does not exist or it does not have access to it for donloading microphone recordings, in spite of it being quite happy to rip CDs to anywhere on the hard drive.
When I created an Atrac CD to play on my car stereo I accidentally clicked on the transfer button twice for one album - no "do you want me to over write" message or similar appears. Machine happily copies album over to atrac CD twice.
It takes forever to recognise attached hardware. worst of all it does not remember that the computer has a CD drive - EVERY TIME I START THE SOFTWARE.
If their software was half as good as their hardware I would be 100 times as happy.
Version 3.4 much better
I have downloaded Sonicstage version 3.4 from another source. It is 1000% better than 3.3. Still slow to recognise things though.It loads and then I have to wait for a couple of minutes before it finds the CD drive or the attached HiMD player.
