ejabolton Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I find sonic stage a pain to use. i was just wondering if there is a method whereby you can drag and drop music straight on to my minidisc player (SONY MZ-N710) is there any software that has NOT been made by sony?i'm running XP Prof SP2Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Welcome to MDCF, Edd!For ATRAC tunes management (with your NetMD unit), you only have the choice between SonicStage and MD Simpler Burner. As for SonicStage, what version are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejabolton Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 i'm using version version 3.4, but i just don't like it. it gives me no choice in the directory to which it installed, its a slow programs with lots of bugs and not very user friendly. i was just wondering if anyone knew of such a program that will enable you to access you minidisc player in a similar fasion to a flash drive. From there you could just drop tracks onto it Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 The only way to get playable music onto a minidisc is through Sony software: SonicStage, SimpleBurner (easy transfer of CDs) or the Mac music transfer software for Macs. There is no other program. You have a NetMD. The next generation of minidisc units, Hi-MD, allows the unit to be connected as a data drive. But a music file that has been dragged-and-dropped to Hi-MD is still not playable by the unit. Only files that have been transferred by SonicStage are playable. That's how Sony engineered it.

bland10000 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Since your device is netmd, you can also use RealPlayer. You have to have SS installed then install RP and the device driver from RP's list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Oops, forgot about Real Player. I've always hated that program even more than SonicStage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
