Thanks for the info, I did get the Simple burner to finally work. I've installed the OpenMG, and it did work. But now I have another problem. Seems openMG will not detect my minidisc. My pc does detect my minidisc but it seems that the proper drivers aren't installed. I've downloaded the netmd_driver.zip. OpenMG v.2.2, and it keeps displaying "External device/media not found" I've checked Device manager and under Human Interface Devices I have HID-compliant consumer control device and USB Human Interface Device....is this correct? I was expecting to see something that said "netmd". I've tried uninstalling the drivers, as well as openMG, reboot (without my minidisc plugged in to the usb) reinstalled drivers, openMG, reboot, plug in device. And still openMG is not detecting my minidisc, although my computer does detect the new hardware and installes the components stated above. I am using windows XP pro. Any suggestions? Thanks

[Mod edit: Merged from double-posting.] [begin merge] I'm new to the minidisc community having received my mz-n505 a few days ago...so please bear with me. The problem I am having is with the Simple Burner software. I've downloaded/installed the software and it crashes every time I try to run it. I get the error "The program has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.....etc" I'm running winXP pro. I've tried a reboot, uninstalling/reinstalling, still the same error. Any suggestions?! [/end merge] The simple burner software is evidently not working for me. I have tried both SimplerMD and M3U2SB, but they both use simple burner. Is there a way I can record onto my md without having to use simple burner. Sorry if this sounds like a stupid/repetitive question..but I'm still learning. Thanks.
