Viv Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Looking at the various posts on this forum, I had understood that recordings made via the computer with a USB cable to an MD formatted disc couldn't be uploaded with the MZ-RH1. A couple of weeks ago I ripped a CD with MD Simple Burner in LP2 format using my MZ-NH600. Just for fun I tried to upload one track today with my new MZ-RH1 just to see what happened, and it transferred perfectly. Maybe I've misunderstood something in the previous posts?

A440 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 That's great news. Older versions of SonicStage, before 3.4, added digital rights management junk that was supposed to stop unauthorized CD copying. Since you were encoding so recently, you may be encoding without DRM. But I hope someone will try uploading an old NetMD just to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Are you uploading to the same computer that you downloaded the tracks from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Are you uploading to the same computer that you downloaded the tracks from?Yes I am, and on closer inspection of the manual I've found the following paragraph:"Tracks transferred from the computer in "Net MD" mode or tracks purchased through EMD services and transferred to the recorder can be transferred only to the same computer from which they originally came from."

Justin42 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Since SS3.4, HiMD should allow this, even using an older unit (non-RH1). Did you use a HiMD disc or a normal MD disc, formatted in MD mode, NOT HiMD mode?I think the caveat applies to people with a NetMD unit, who uploaded files to a NetMD (normal-MD format) disc, using a USB cable. Those are the ones supposedly not accessible. If you're using HiMD at all, what you're doing should (and does) work on non copy-protected tracks, on any HiMD unit.
