Greetings good people, I have a few questions which I'm sure the experts here will be able to help me with
I recently bought a Sony Net MD, MZ-N510CK for a real good price (70 bucks), but I have a few questions, as I'm a newbie to the whole minidisc thing.
1) Is it just me, or does anyone else find the sonicstage software extremely confusing? I mean, it is not very user friendly, and the help section is really terrible.
2) What exactly is ATRAC3 ? I know its a specific type of format that allows you to put more songs on a disc, but do I have to convert my mp3 files into ATRAC3 in order to do this? I did a little test run and the files I copied onto the disc show up in the playlist as "openMG" files. Whats that?
3) For some reason I was only able to fit about 33 or so songs on the disc that came with the player....I know there's a way to fit more on there. (I've heard up to 400), so how do I do that, and what am I doing wrong? Is there a certain type of disc I have to buy?
4) How many megabytes can one minidisc hold? And whats the best format to burn files onto a minidisc with?
5) Is there a way I can directly access the folder I keep my songs in through the sonicstage software? I don't really like this whole "music drive" thing, I wish I could just access my folder through the software like Cd-burning software....so far what I am doing to add files into my playlist is minimizing the program, going to my folder, and dragging the files into the playlist...which gets quite cumbersome.
Anyway thats all for now folks....thanks in advance.
