.OpenMG to .MP3

Triple8 · 02-November-04, 11:00 PM

I use SonicStage to store all my 1228 songs on my computer.

the problem is that the file type it uses is .OpenMG which is only compatible with sony stuff (man i hate sony).

is there an app or program that converts OpenMG to MP3, WAV, etc?

Yeah here is some help.

You need Nero, and nero's imagedrive, or something similar that. You can create a virtual CD disc image, and mount it to your desktop.

Five easy steps to a clean and hassle free mp3-md burn:

1. Open nero, select Audio CD from the presets and drag all the MP3's you want into it. Nero is far less picky about formats and sample rates. I found this method foolproof.

2. Save or 'Burn' your cd to your hard drive (not your burner). Nero will give you a default filename of 'image.nrg'

3. Use Nero's imagedrive (bundled with nero) to mount the .nrg you just created. Lets say for this example, drive 'F'

Faster machine=faster mp3 conversion=faster image creation.

Now If you know how to use Simple Burn, the rest as they say, goes without saying.

4. Select your 'virtual F' cd drive in Simple Burn & burn that sucker.

5. When you're done, trash the .nrg file sitting on your desktop (large file).

If your machine is 'fairly' fast then Simpleburns' CD-Atrak conversion is done in on-the-fly in RAM. Notice your HD doesn't tick over at all.

ADVANTAGES TO THIS METHOD

*you're using reliable software
*unlike openmg, crap isn't left all over your hard drive, not to mention that f**ing checkin-checkout bull****.
*you can delete, re-arrange tracks on your MD to your hearts content WITHOUT having to do it via your pc.
*did I mention you dont have to use openmg?
*it's faster and doesn't thrash your HD
*no openmg
