  1. There are other alternatives, such as this. I haven't tried one myself, but it looks like it'll do the job. You would need a separate USB card reader to plug in on one side, with the HiMD plugged in on the other side.

    I've been thinking of getting something like this myself, as they're quite a bit cheaper here (Australia) than the Sony product.

    I've tried it using a similar device made by another company and messed my NH900. :angry:

  2. Can you play this one?

    [attachmentid=928]

    Interesting to note: I can play this oma file and when checking for properties, it is showing that I can create CDs, ATRAC CDs and import it to a Hi-MD.

    I guess the "restrictions" associated with .oma file not too long ago are now gone when creating oma files with no DRM.

  3. I fell in love with the MD format in 1997, Okinawa, Japan. When Hi-MD came out, I honestly thought that it will become more popular; so excited then that I even did a countdown at the other MD board.

    Currently, I have about 500 MD discs, 1 MD boombox, 2 MD decks, 2 MD book shelves, 6 portables including the old MDH 10 (MD and MD data). 1 Hi-MD portable and was looking forward to the 3Gen. MD. :(

    I am hoping that Sony opens the MD format to all instead of just dropping it.

    Just open the ATRAC/MD technology up, Sony..... :mellow:

  4. Excellent information as always, Ishiyoshi.

    For the hopefuls: It's doubtful that these new bitrates will be available to first and second generation Hi-MD. Most likely for the third generation, which will hypothetically have no ability to write in regular MD mode and fully in Hi-MD mode.

    I'd like to learn more about DRM + *.oma's..

    SonicStage 3.2 does give you an option to add DRM or not to add DRM when you transfer songs from CDs.
