I hope this question isn't stupid. But...I had a net md a few years ago a sony. I had sonic stage. It was possible to copy directly from cd to the minidisc. Now the new version of sonic stage only allows a two stage process, first importing the cd, then copying to md. IT is not possible to show the MD panel and the CD panel at once. I currently have a Aiwa net md am-nx9. The whole idea is to make cds for a first generation MD car system. I know it sounds like a small porbelm, but i must be missing something here, surely sonicstage should not be going backward. Daniel
