Removing one time copy protection from hi-md

[johnobuttons]

I have several live recordings made in the early days of hi-md using the mz-nh900.

Those tracks were transfered using an old version of SonicStage maybe version 3.1.

Of course back then only one transfer was allowed and the transfer process put some kind of transfer restriction on the original hi-md disk.

Now of course I use SonicStage 3.4 or 4.0. However those old hi-md disks still have the transfer restriction and the tracks cannot be transferred again using the new SonicStage.

There must be some way of removing that transfer restriction? Did SonicStage have some way of removing the tracks from the computer and checking them back onto the hi-md? If so is that functionality available in SonicStage 3.4 or 4.0?

I could start trying this, but would like to know if anyone out there has experience with this process.

As far as I know, the tracks on the MDs are still locked.

But the tracks in the computer are yours to play with. Convert the tracks in My Library to .wav with SonicStage (Save as .wav), and you can do whatever you want with the .wav files: burn as CDs, convert to mp3, transfer back to MD.

Or you can use Hi-MDRenderer (from Downloads) to convert the My Library tracks to other formats.
