Mikami Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hello Micheal1980,VPC is not able to use sony's drivers to make any NetMD work, at this time.Here is a cool guy who is trying to make NetMD work with VPC: http://manila.cats.rwth-aachen.de/behr/activities/minidisc/ I do not know, but I maybe Sony and Apple have a few issues to workout. I hope they will send out some good firmwear for NetMD and Hi-MD to work on all Apple computers. Good question Sorry, I do not have any good answers, Mikami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1980 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I remember reading somewhere that 1.5 SS worked in VPC (2k). Will try to find that post/article.Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logiqal Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Also, the Creative Labs MP3+ external USB sound device works great with my iBook even though it does not list OS X as being supported. It is a very nice device for its price ($25-$30 available at even Staples). It has analog and digital (Tos-link) outputs AND inputs, plus headphone and mic. I really like it and think it was well worth the price. I use it to record to MD from iTunes on my iBook.Hope this helps someone with their Mac - MD connection.

Michael1980 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Hey, has anyone tried Simple Burner? It will probably not work, but still worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
