My word sfbp what a reply!
Thank you for taking the trouble to explain things to me as you know them.
I don't think we've met before, but I have been a member here for many years, although only pop in from time to time - when things go wrong, ha ha.
I am still a lover of my minidisc players and use one of them every time I travel.
My need for Sonic Stage is simply to get the music file from my pc to the HiMD.
AFAIK you HAVE to use SS to do this - and there is no alternative.
I do not think I have a requirement to connect to a netMD device, nor use a HiMD device in netMD mode - is that right?
I do not have RH1; my MDs are detailed below.
I really need to set aside some time and dedicate myself to this exercise
