sonicstage never used to bother me, but the sonicstage connect shite ive got now is actually bollocks. Kinda buggerd for putting an album on if its various artists. it apears in sonicstage as sepreate artists (which granted is true) but then tries to transfer by artist other than album. (or i think it did . . i cant fully remember) tho the softwares good for 1 thing. . . . high quality compression tho saying that, compressing to a higher format can make it sound better ive used sonicstage for somethin like 6 years now (or however long its been out :s ) and it just takes some work (alot actually) to get the fucker to run how you want it and get used to it etc
