heylo! sorry if this is beating a dead horse, but i have a Sony MZ-M100 Hi-MD recorder and i'm trying to move via USB some NetMD files that were recorded on the same recorder a few years ago by my soundman. unfortunately, he didn't format the discs for Hi-MD at the time. the minidiscs are in NetMD format. using SonicStage 4.3, it will not let me transfer the NetMD files due to copyright permissions(?). my soundman at one time may have connected the M100 to his PC. would this have written protection code onto the minidiscs? is there a way to change the permissions? i'm confused on why this is an issue. many thanx! sirdemon
