If you record a song in OpenMG ATRAC format and make edits, such as title, artist, or genre, using SonicStage software, the changes become visible when the music file is played in My Music. If you make changes to a music file using Media Center, the changes are not visible when played in SonicStage software. Page 74 Why do my song information edits revert to the original content when I use My Music? When you record songs with SonicStage software, and then use Windows® Media Player software to edit the song's information, you may not see your changes when you play the song in My Music. Windows Media Player supports playback of songs recorded in OpenMG (ATRAC3 or ATRAC3+ ) format, but does not support any edits made to the OpenMG format music files. Use SonicStage software to edit song information for music files that are recorded in OpenMG format. Page 75 Why do my optimized music files take so long to appear in My Music? When you use SonicStage software to optimize music files to ATRAC3 or ATRAC3+ format, it may take a few moments for the music files to be available in My Music. To access these files sooner, start Windows Media Player software first, and then play the song with My Music. Page 76 Why do I get the error message, "The input media is invalid" when I try to play an MP3 file in My Music? If you have added cover art to the MP3 file using SonicStage software, your file may contain an unsynchronized ID3v2 header. Media Center and Windows Media Play software programs cannot support playback of this file. You can go to Microsoft® and download a patch to resolve this issue1, as follows: 1.
