radiojr Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Ok I bought a Sony MZ-S1 off ebay for work. I work in Radio, and I recorded people saying things for my show. Now that I recorded everything, I can’t get it off because SonicStage does not allow you to transfer things from my MiniDisk recorder to my desktop. Is there any software that will allow me to do this, I need some help. Never had one of these before. Thanks.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shozzer Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I have bad news my friend. You have purchased a Net MD which allows you to download from your PC to MD but not from MD to PC. Only HI-MD models offer the ability to transfer both ways. The only way of getting the recordings into a PC with your MD is to connect to the PC using the headphone socket and line in and play the recordings whilst recording simultaneously - look at the FAQs for more information. If it is any consolation I made the same error when I bought my first MD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiojr Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Ok from my last comment I was told that my stupid Sony MZ-S1 does not allow me to download to my PC. So now I am looking for a HI-MD. Does anyone here have one they would not mind selling. Of course I want it in good working condition where out of the box I can use it. I don’t have a huge budget because I work in radio (inside joke) but if someone can help out a brotha I would be grateful. I am also willing to throw in a Sony MZ-S1 for maybe a discount or trade.

eriktous Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Just to be complete and save you from another deception, even with a Hi-MD recorder, you won't be able to get the recordings you made with the MZ-S1 to your PC through USB. It only allows uploading of recordings made on a Hi-MD machine.So it will work with any new recordings you will make, but those old ones can only be done through so called real-time uploading (dubbing, re-recording, whatever you want to call it).

Christopher Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Welcome, Scott E. You should really look into a Hi-MD unit, it would make your life alot easier.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastianbf Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Scott take a look at the classified section in the forum. Also Minidisco (www.minidisco.com) is selling some great HiMD bundles that come with a microphone at a very good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
