OpenMG Jukebox?

[md_melanie]

I have this NetMD which I really like. I'm using it to record from mic or from my 4-track (direct). What I really hate is this Open MG software that Sony provided for me. It stinks. Besides the many reasons there are to dislike this software, it won't let me "check-in" my own recorded material onto my PC. I can't use my device outside the software. Argh! Please help.

What I'd really like to do is to use a more direct method of loading my files (as I do with my "other" mp3 player and flash drives. Why does it have to be so difficult?

I know I probably bought the wrong device for my purposes but that's too bad now...any ideas on how I can live with this thing?

Thanks,

Mel. from Ottawa.

Thats the latest in NetMD software..

whatever you do you have to use there software with minidisc.

And you cant upload recodrings made in with a NetMD disc ever

(Unless you invest in a "MZ-RH1" a Hi-MD plater)

You've run into the reason minidisc never caught on in the US--no drag-and-drop, no uploading from NetMD.

Sony was incredibly clueless for a long time.

If you like the format, your best bet would be to sell that NetMD on Ebay and get a Hi-MD instead for $150.

You'll get CD-quality recording (PCM) and it can upload through SonicStage, which has been improved greatly since the days of OMG Jukebox.

Just for clarification all recordings done with a Hi-MD player in Hi-MD mode can be uploaded to your computer.

NetMD mode cant be uploaded without a "MZ-RH1"
