Bluecrab, sorry for the late reply, I've had to have several surgeries since my last post. I'm going to download and set up everything at the link you've given me. I'll vette whether this works or not. Thanks, Fakebook

I'm becoming so frustrated. I've gone through the forum, read a bunch of different posts on disabling driver certification in Windows 10, what to look for, what to do, and I cannot for the life of me get this to work. Yes, could you please guide me through this? I just want to get my MD playing the music I have on my PC without having to wait an hour and a half for the audio to record through the jack.

I can answer your questions one by one, if you'd like: 1. I don't know if my installation has defaulted to 32-bit, you're right, I am running a 64-bit machine. I was typing this up late last night, and neglected to mention that, sorry. 2. I have the drivers from this link. Like I said, I'm using an MZ-N505, and those drivers are supposed to be compatible with that specific model. 3. I have a fresh AA installed, mostly because I use my MD player on the daily. 4. I have only connected with a disk in the unit, with the intention of writing to that disk immediately after connecting to my PC. This post is actually about this last part: it doesn't show up, period. Not as an unknown device, nothing with a yellow exclamation point. Just doesn't show up. This might be an issue with my version of Windows being 64-bit? I'm not sure, I only recently was actually able to get a version of SonicStage working at all, so I'm not terribly experienced. Finally, yes, I am using a "real" version of Windows. It's the only OS on my hard disk, Windows 10. I've seen several people around the web claim that Windows 10 can and will connect to NetMD players, but so far I've absolutely no luck. Thanks for responding!

I have a Sony MZ-N505 MiniDisc player, with a Mini-USB connection port on the side, and my computer simply will not see it, as in it simply doesn't show up on the system. I have SonicStage installed, I have the drivers ready to go, but I can't for the life of me get my computer even recognize that I've connected it to the USB port. For reference, I'm using a Dell laptop with 8 gigs of RAM, an AMD A6 chip, and integrated graphics. I've tried to connect to all three USB ports, included the USB 3.0 port, but I've had no luck. Any suggestions?
