Hi, Sorry if this seems a bit stupid...I have sonicstage 3.4 but it doesn't seem to allow me to upload recordings from my minidisc- MZ-N170 to my PC. My bro reckons that's cause Sony don't want to allow file sharing in that way. I have a usb cable for my MD but I don't have a digital-out socket for any other cables. I saw the WIN MD software posted here but have had problems running the trial version. Can anyone recommend any software (pref free) or other solution to my problem? I am a journalist and have hundred of mini-disc recordings that I want to both back-up and edit on my PC in Cool Edit. Thanks, Elle J ;o)
