I just got one of those too!
It's also my first MD player.
I went for it 'cos of the NetMD function, radio tuner, style and as a solution to my portable audio desires!
I had considered a pure MP3 player... now I'm an advocate of MD all the way.
I use the Nero Create Image > Mount Virtual CD > Simple Burn MD process without failure.
I am very pleased with it.
My only gripe is that FM reception isn't that good where I live (South Coast UK).
I'm one of those who's very interested in seeing how the MD > PC question can be discussed and maybe answered one day. I'm not too bothered but it would be nice...
See you all around!
