How do I tell if file already downloaded plus other newbie stuff

[see change]

I have an MD MZ - NH700

I've now worked out what I should be doing to organise my files correctly ( ideas for songs , recorded via Mic) but I have a backlog of files to down load and save as wav files

I've installed SS 3.2 and also have audacity if I want to input the files directly into the Computer as an alternative.

I have several Mini Discs with several hundred small files which I'd prefer to download via Sonic stage. Some have previously been download via SS, but I'm not sure which. I've found that even if I 've installed the latest version of SS ( 3.2) , If I've previously downloaded files on an older version , SS detects this and as a result not only doesn't downloads the files but deletes them from the mini Disc.

Obviously the way around that is to record them through Audacity through the line in in the computer but given I have several hundred files , this would be a slow and tedious process..

Is there a way to tell whether I've previously downloaded the files.

Is there a way to record the files ( up to 50 small files organised in folders ) without having to record each individual file seperately ( not track markets their ) ?

Will WinNetMD help me with this ?

I went to the link posted in this thread

http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=4276&st=15

To find out more about it , but the initial link doesn't work , and with the home page being in ( ? ) German if found it hard to find the info

Any help would be appreciated

I assume you want to upload from HiMD to PC.

If you look at the property of a HiMD track , it will tell how many times you can transfer it (and if you have done it with a previous version, you can no longer transfer it as you have found).

There is also a small symbol that changes form after uploading a track on the left of the titles for the track.

WinNetMD is for earlier units, you don't need it.

Have a look at this topic :

Thanks for that Roamer , That's what I was looking for.

From what I can see , files that are locked have a small square to the left of them ( in Sonic Stage ) and ones that can be downloaded have a angle on the left side of the square.
