  1. Well, I only have 2 NetMD players, no recorders so SonicStage is my only option. I've recorded several MDs, a couple of tracks at a time, and they play all the way through perfectly. It must be the drivers, I will uninstall and reinstall and see what happens. Thanks
  2. After playing around with SonicStage and my NetMDs I am still discouraged. SonicStage works on my Win7 64bit machine but not fully. I can only transfer a couple of tracks at a time or it locks up. Also I can't transfer any files longer than about 15 minutes. Since I like classical music, this prevents me from transferring some of my classical music to MD. Are there any tricks to make SonicStage work properly? Thanks, Philster
  3. Update: SonicStage 4.3 Ultimate Edition installed on Win7-64bit with no problems and the NetMD drivers work also. Last night I ripped a CD to ATRAC Lossless and then recorded it on a blank Minidisc in SP mode. WOW! Take THAT iPod! Looks like I'm back in business with Minidisc. One minor problem. My older, blue, NetMD player won't record anymore. It reports that the inserted MD is write protected, even when it is not. My newer PSYC player records properly. Is there any way to fix this problem with my blue player? Philip in East Texas
  4. Thanks for the replys so quickly. I'm glad those Sony Premium Gold discs will work, right now they seem to be cheaper than regular discs. Also, I'm finding new players online for around $200. If I'm going to get back into MD then I better make sure I have enough hardware to keep me going for many years to come. LOL Philster
  5. Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I got into MD from the beginning. I purchased a Sony MZ-1 back in the early '90s. When that unit died I purchased my first NetMD unit, the Sony MZ-N420D (blue). I continued to make recordings but lost interest about 5 years ago when I started ripping my CDs to flac files. On a fluke, I purchased a second NetMD player, the Sony MZ-DN430 'PSYC' (black). I used my new player just long enough to make sure it works, removed the battery and put it away. I put all my Minidisc stuff in a box and put on my closet shelf and forgot about it. Yesterday I dug it all out and began playing with it. Both my NetMD players work. I put my 'PSYC' back into mothballs as a backup for when my blue players dies. My computer runs Win7-64 so my first task is getting SonicStage to work on it. Question: Will the Sony MDW80PL 80-minute Premium Gold minidiscs work with my two players? These MDs seem to be readily available round the internet. Also, are they still manufactured yet? Anyways, I plugged my MD players into my sound system and am surprised just how good they sound. I have 18 pre-recorded MDs and, Wow!, Wilson Phillips and Eric Clapton Unplugged sound awesome! I also love the fact that my two players use AA batteries, I'm so tired of recharging everything all the time. I have about 100 MDs that I recorded from various sources, many of these recordings are the only version I have. I also have about 20 blank MDs. I do have a couple of iPods, they tend to be flakey and constantly need to be recharged.. My Nano is used mostly for podcasts, my Touch is used mostly as a PDA. If I can get SonicStage to work and if I can find new blank MDs to purchase, I'll be back in the game. Philip in East Texas
