  1. Exactly: the only way I know to do the conversion is to burn a CD, then to rip it (and finally convert it to MP3). But it takes time and is rather expensive for long mic recordings (and not too long, otherwise they don't stay in the CD). Also the possibility to burn MP3 CDs in SonicStage 2.0 is limited to .mp3 files (if one tries to use that option starting from .omg files an error warning comes out). Let's hope that Sony will add the possibility to do that conversion in a future release of SonicStage.... or that someone finds a way to do it!
  2. Hallo. I usually use my MD to record conferences and then I move my recordings to my PC using the MIC input of the PC and a MP3 encoding program. In this way I can listen to my recordings on my PC using Winamp (which has keyboard shortcuts, which are very useful for me) and burn the recordings onto CDs. Obviously the tranfer from MD to PC is a real-time one, so when I have heard that Sony was going to sell the new HI-MDs, which allow USB upload to the PC, I was very happy. Now I see that SonicStage doesn't allow to convert the uploaded .omg (ATRAC3) files to WAV (from which it would be simple to obtain MP3 files); but in this way I can listen to the uploaded recordings only by SonicStage (or Windows Media Player, using the minidisc.org codec) and only on the PC on which they have been uploaded (for copyright limitations of the .omg files)!! Moreover I see that, if one wants to burn the recordings in a compressed format (to save CDs), he can only burn ATRAC3 CDs, for which I think that there are the same limitations. I understand copyright problems, but FOR MIC RECORDINGS COULDN'T SONY ALLOW ATRAC3-WAV CONVERSION INSIDE SONICSTAGE??? DOESN'T THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IF THEY DON'T ALLOW THIS CONVERSION FOR MIC RECORDINGS (WITHOUT COPYRIGHT PROBLEMS) MANY PEOPLE (JOURNALISTS, STUDENTS...) WILL NOT BUY THEIR DEVICES? If someone knows a way to convert quickly (not using a real-time method) the uploaded .omg files to .wav or .mp3 files can communicate that in this forum? Thank you very much!
