sailskibum Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I've just bought a new sony 710 and am attempting to transfer files from on my old minidisc's to my pc. I've got my entire backlog of cassettes on older style MiniDiscs and would rather not have to re-record them on hi-md (in fact with the 710 I don't believe this is an option). Has anybody got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are lucky enough to have one of those then do it that way Optical out ====> Optical in on the HI-MD device.If the unit is old enough you might not even have SCMS to worry about --although that's fairly easily bypassed.Otherwise with relatively little loss of quality use the TOTAL RECORDER method of you've got a decent sound card in your computer. (How to do this is explained in various threads on these boards)(I know the original poster was mentioning a 710 -- but this post is for anybody iwho is still using using ANY Pre NET-MD stuff).I still think the sexiest looking portable unit EVER was the old RZ-90 --Easy screen, scrollable / navigable on the main unitdecent backlit remote, lovely tactile feel, built like a battleship, external battery possible. OK O.T but I had to mention it.Cheers-K Edited June 25, 2005 by 1kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(How to do this is explained in various threads on these boards)that is the analogue TR-method which could just as well be performed with the free Audacity, as pre-HiMD recordings can't be played through the PC by USB->SS-connection which is necessary to do the realtime digital upload commonly refered to as "the TotalRecorder method"read this for the way to upload... and this to learn about the (digital) TotalRecorder method which won't work for pre-HiMD recordingsVolta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
