CD information Artist - Dido
Album - No Angel
Song - Thank You (track #6)

I record the song, Dido-Thank You, with several different ways:
    1. Digital (optical) Recording in HiMD PCM
    2. Analog (from Headphone out from sound card) Recording in HiMD PCM
    3. Digital (optical) Recording in HiMD HiSP
    *4. SonicStage optimized file in HiMD HiSP
*Note: I transferred the song from CD to minidisc with SonicStage and then put it back to hard drive from the minidisc. The file has gone from the minidisc and not shown on My Library either. I had to use optimized file for #4 HiMD HiSP.
