Hi-md/net-md Compatability Problems

[Tim C]

You cannot import tracks that were recorded in a Net-MD machine/mode through a Hi-MD machine to the Sonicstage (2.1) library, and therefore your computer.

Has anyone got a way of getting round this. I have a new Hi-MD and lots of Net-MD disks I am trying to sore on my computer.

Thanks

I also was quite disappointed when i realized that feature lacking...

I think you'll have to wait for a Hi-MD Deck with Digital-/USB-Out...

You can't digitally upload tracks from discs in the standard MD mode.

What you need is a deck with digital output and a sound card with digital input. That way you can transfer those tracks to your computer without any losses.

You Can get very reasonable quality if you have one of those XITEL MD-PORT devices -- however of course it's real time.

Another easy thing to do is to create WAV files and then using Nero burn a "Virtual CD" (Drive Image included with Nero), mount it and then you can use SS to "rip" the CD and upload it into your library.

Any simple sound card will do if you create a WAV file directly from the MD -- but of course you are then using the Analog output (line out / phones out) of the MD so for digital with older MD's the XITEL solution might be better unless you've got a high end deck with a digital output as the previous poster suggests.

Many thanks for your advice. I will give XITEL a try
