itzankov Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hi!I while ago a got a MZ-NH900 walkman (my 5th MD recoder). I'm a Linux user, and it's very frustrating to me to keep a Windows XP installation on my PC, just so I can transfer music to my walkman. (Every time I have to copy the files to the windows partition, restart, record and reboot again).I'm wondering if anyone has information regarding the format the music get's recorded onto the Hi-MD. I've got the ATRAC3plus codec working just fine under Linux, I just need to know the file formats and a Linux Hi-MD recording software will be available to everyone.Regards,Ilian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexis Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Maybe you can use WINE to run sonicstage?That should solve the reboot problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug80 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Maybe you can use WINE to run sonicstage?That should solve the reboot problem.←Unfortunately not. USB support is not yet implemented in Wine, so installing the drivers will fail. I already tried it in the past, Realplayer with the NetMD plugin won't work either.The only solution for Linux users is real-time recording (optical or analog). Titling is possible though, I've seen some Linux software, for example FunkyMD. Never tried it, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzankov Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Yes, I've used realtime recording in the past through the optical interface... but 11 hour recording is simply unrealistic. As a last resort reverse-engeneering will have to do, but it will be a lot easyer if some technical info was made available.So, I'm hoping someone, from the guys that come up with the service manuals, will have access to this information also.
