Hi there MiniDisc people, here's a query from a non technically minded person . I've read the posts in this thread and I don't think they answer my question. Sorry, if I've missed something! I have a Hi-MD device, an MZ-NH1 - one of the the first generation I believe. Will the upgrade to sonic stage allow me to upload mp3s to my HiMD without conversion to atrac? I have hundreds of mp3 ripped from old vinyl and up to now the requirment to convert to atrac has often created unpleasant audio artefacts on the HiMD recording. Thanks for any response, Conchuir

Thanks for that information, jadeclaw. You have indeed made me happy :smile: I've no intention of using Connect so I'll upgrade right away.

Hi, like many of you folks I've been waiting for Sony's wav conversion tool. According to the documentation, it can only be installed with Sonic Stage v 2.1 or later. The trouble is I bought my Hi-MD recorder in the UK, and the UK Sony site (and other European Sony sites) states that the Sonic Stage upgrade from v 2.0 is "temporarily unavailable". It's been that way for over a week now. (Was it ever available?) Only for MarcNet's tool (Thanks!) my recent field recordings would be locked in by the DRM mechanism. Does anyone know, what the hell is the difference between the UK version of the Sonic Stage software and the US/Canadian version? I feel angry enough with Sony about the lack of Hi-MDs available in the UK, without having to feel I've been suckered again because their UK version of the spftware isn't up to scratch. Any comments?
