  1. Bad quality old RCA cables and all kind of USB cables are subject to problems sooner or later. In Asia it is common to buy very cheap things... which don't work or work one month ! The micro-USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 formats are specially dreaful.
  2. I am not in the Mac World but maybe you just need to use a plugin to add 2 seconds between tracks and then,with Sonic Stage edit the MD and delete 2 seconds tracks. PC : foobar2000 + Post-track silence plugin
  3. There is also an Onkyo N9X & N9TX in Vietnam with a digital out = i doubt it concern the MD as as japanese user manual say that this connection is for a CD-Recorder (and because Sony would not authorised that).
  4. Yes Stephen, that is why I try myself to drive our gentle members to find themselves most common technical information with the minidisc.org browser... There is also another french reference : https://www.jonathandupre.fr/articles/17-minidisc-md/ (Google Traductor) made by @jonathanpotato I suppose that many other web sites exist (in german, japanese, etc).
  5. https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/ar/1992-E.pdf
  6. Minidisc.org is the best reference we can have. There are some other web site like https://sites.google.com/site/crazyforminidisc/ or https://mdchannel.shutterfly.com/pictures/5 In the minidisc.org browser, choose a page like http://www.minidisc.org/system_table.html (bookshelves) then the release date appear near "Intro:" Just search "MDLP" to find all units which supports MDLP or any useful information like "type S" or "optical out", etc.
  7. Note that labels can be - label on the minidisc - label on the box (mostly album title and tracks) or cover + side cover - plus the thin label on the side of the MD From time to time you can find discussion on the subject in englih or in french (for those I contributed, please use Google Traductor) : https://vintage-audio-heritage.fr/viewtopic.php?f=121&t=3629 A good software, exPressit SE : https://qpdownload.com/expressit-se/ For 6 labels, you can use rather an Microsoft Office template, Corel Draw, etc. : search on Youtube. also old sofwares like MiniDisc Label Projector Program / Minidisc Cover Maker can be usefull... if they are still working on your PC
  8. Just go to the browser of minidisc.org
  9. I suppose that you will find here http://forums.sonyinsider.com/files/ for your Mac OS Ask again if you do not find. I am not a MacOS specialist.

    So klwk need to find the manual on line.
  13. You got also a good PS2 like gaming machine. How much you pay and what PC is it exactly ?
  14. Just in case : upgrade to Windows XP SP3 : https://ccm.net/download/download-2494-windows-xp-sp3-service-pack . An old PC would work also much faster with Linux (light version) and Sonic Stage work also with Linux. But in fact I never tried it, Linux and Apple-McIntosh are alien worlds for me.

    Just find the manual with Google and get information from minidisc.org
  16. I regret not working on DOS anymore...
  17. No even a small twinge ?
  18. Sony forever... https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=NWE2&LOC=3#/downloadTab* http://www.oldversion.com/ will be an Ali Baba cavern for you but as you know, do not reinstall too much software as an internet connection is not recommended anymore under Windows XP. I guess you can also connect a bootable USB key with a recent anti-virus in order to check this old computer : https://www.lifewire.com/free-bootable-antivirus-tools-2625785 An old computer like that is perfect if you have a SPDI/F audio optical output. Or, a not-so-old good external USB audio card, like an old SPDI/F Hi-Face or a DAC like the Creative X-Fi Go Pro! USB key. I think that an audio player like foobar2000 will be fantastic also. It is able to read SACD files ! Even (Heaven) a digital 5.1 receiver...
  19. Fantastic ;>) You just need to download the complete version of Sonic Stage and the drivers (for XP 32 or 64)... If you need Office 2013, ask me ! Or any XP program that you are not allowed to download in your country.
  20. Don't forget here : https://www.facebook.com/groups/minidiscgroup/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/1724662671086339/
