I'm in real need of some help. I have a piece of software called SonicStage which isn't letting me transfer downloaded music to my net md. I bought about 10 tracks off Tesco's website and paid for them so the tracks are legal.
The problem seems to be when I go to check them out to the md that it comes up with a message telling me would i like to open my browser to purchase a licence. Any ideas?

first of all i dont know what version of sonic stage you have but you can download the latest here

secondly there is not much on the web i can find which is specific to your problem if the above download does not work have a look at this link for a more ideas in this area


if you are still having problems please come back to me and i will see what further i can find on the web

hope this helps

Have upgraded to SonicStage 2.0. The software seems quite happy to let me copy music from a cd to md, but not downloaded music. It just keeps coming up with message "unable to convert copyright protected content". But surely if I've downloaded it legally from Tesco's like I did it should in theory let me check it out the the net md? Anymore ideas?

i think your problem is with tesco it seems that they are downloading ok but you being a third party are being restricted which is wrong as you have paid for the download

have you tried tesco support at all?
if you have what did they say?
if you have not looked at the help page find it here
on the help page there is a piece of free music see if you can download it and then install it on your md

if you can then the problem is tescos end not yours?

please let me know how you get on

hope this helps

Am away for the weekend but will try and let you know how i get on. thanks for your help so far!

ok no probs

just to let spud know that i have successfully downloaded mp3's to my md. tesco was the problem. thanks

thanks for letting me know i will close this thread
