I tried again yesterday on the borrowed machine Formatted HD with fresh reinstall of W98SE and SS2.0 but still it won't run properly. Copies 4 or 5 tracks then crashes - usually just a "this programn has caused an error and will be shut down" but sometimes (about 10%) a blue screen "fatal exception error" forcing a complete restart. Once I've managed to get the whole disc from CD to my library it seems to be fine transferring fromn my library to MD so problem just seems to be the copying of CD's Roll on the new m/c with XP

Well, apologies to the moderator for the language in my last post but I am sure you will appreciate that having spent close to £200 for something that doesn't do what it is advertised to do, I am extremely exasperated. I have a new PC on order which will come with XP so have decided from other posts that this may be a W98SE problem and that I should wait to try it on the new PC. 28 day return period is running out though.

Doesn't work for me either. I am now trying it on a separate machine PIII 800 with a fresh install of W98SE and nothing else installed except SS2.0 It cannot transfer more than 5 tracks from a CD to my library without crashing and locking up, forcing a complete restart of the machine. Exactly the same fault as I had with it on my other machine. I'm now too ****** off to worry anymore. NetMD is a pile of ***** as far as I'm concerned and the player is being returned for a full refund and I will get an iPod. Should have stuck with my original idea to get an IPod. Also I will NEVER buy from Sony again. Sorry guys but I fear Minidisc is dead unless someone can quickly give Sony a HUGE kick up the **** to develop software that works MODERATOR EDIT: Watch your language.

Well I spoke too soon After transferring 3 cds into my library it has all gone wrong. It will now transfer a few tracks and then the program crashes "this program has performed an illegal operation and will be closed" This is the same as was happening with RP10 before (though I uninstalled and deleted registry entries for that and did not reinstall it) This is all very exasperating and not a good introduction to MD.

Pleased to report that after a full uninstall, regedit and install it seems to be working now :smile: Expect more dumb questions to follow as I start to use it Thanks for the help

Thanks, will try that at the weekend

Well After a bit more playing last night I found that RP10 kept crashing after 3 or 4 tracks being transferred. Each time I restarted it it would do 3 or 4 more and then crash again. It took about 3/4 hour to transfer a CD which I think is pretty appalling given this is only slightly less than real time Uninstalled everything (SS2.0 and RP10) and reinstalled SS2.0 but found CDDB still greyed out. Then reinstalled RP10 and it still keeps crashing after 3 or 4 tracks. This is most unsatisfcatory - I have a program (SS2.0) that can transfer tracks (although I haven't actually checked they transfer yet due to the CDDB problem) but I then have to manually name everything or I have a program (RP10) which can name the tracks but can't transfer them Using W98SE on a PIII 800MHz PLEASE can anyone help or do I send the MZ-N910 back and give up on MD which seems a shame as I like the sound

Hi guys I'm new to both the site and MD. Just purchased a MZ-N910 and I have had a play and am quite impressed by the MD souns in SP/LP2 although LP4 is a bit TOO compressed Having read the posts here I decided to go straight for the download of SS2.0 (I then also installed Real Player 10) In SS2.0 The "Get CD Info" box under "Tools" is greyed out so I can not use it. Also under Tools/Options/Get CD Info I only have options to change where the info is stored and the cache size. There are no other options. The help says something about registering but there is nowhere for me to register. There is no "+" sign next to "Get CD Info" How do I get the info for the CD thorugh CDDB All works fine in RP10 Also will Sony be issuing a genuine SS2.0 update download for those of us with SS1.5? Many thanks Rondo
