Calling: Eclipse owners w/ magic gate/memory stick

[ItalynStylion]

To start off list the memory stick compatible unit that you have for reference...I have the CD8445

The question
My manual says that I can stick a CD in and rip it to the memory stick as ATRAC3 files and I can play them from the deck. The directions seem easy but I cant seem to get it to work. Has anyone gotten this to work and can walk me through it?
Now I know that the unit only can use a 128mb stick and that MP3's dont work on it but I've got a 32mb stick that I was trying to get it to work on and it doesn't workout for me. I always get to that spot when it says..."Record 1 track" or "all" and when i try to select All....nothing happens

What am I doing wrong

[BoondockSaints]

Maybe all the songs dont fit on your 32 MB memory stick, cuz most CDs are what 700 MB...

Its a good thought but I tried recording a single track and that didn't work either. I really want to get this to work. I have a CD that I always have on my MP3 disc and it would be nice to rip it once onto the Mem stick and then I wouldnt have to keep adding it to a CD every time I burn a new disc...

PS: If you rip a CD even at 192kbps its only about 70mb

i never used it.................

[BoondockSaints]

I knew it was a 70 something lol... just didnt feel like getting up to look.

[ItalynStylion]

Seriously, out of all the eclipse owners on this forum someone has to have figured this **** thing out...

[the727kid]

Idk even what my memory stick is for on my CD5000....I just know you can put a memory stick int here lol.

[bdawson72]

i have it but i can honestly say that i have never used it

[95_venger]

i own eclipse and have never used that feature but i do want to use area shot

[Abneriel]

is it regular atrac3?

because atrac3 plus is not compatible

also, I know with the CD7k it only allows certain memory sticks to be used for music playback (blue or while Memory Stick Duo's is what it says in the online manual)

not sure if it's the same with yours though

[XaznKewLguyX]

lol ill join in to say that i have it and also never used it but i do plan somewhere along the future.

i got my 8455 to accidentally record live radio for about 10 seconds once, not sure how though. i know it works.

What sort of memory stick do you have? I know how to do it but mine just wont work...

[dgr00s]

i have the 32MB that came with the headunit. have you tried formatting it and then recording?

[ItalynStylion]

yeah, I have a 32mb from my camera that i formated. I can get that to work but it just wont freakin record!
