moreAAs Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I am totally new to uploading - have been recording so have lots of material to upload - but new to it. So, I basically need to know where to start. I read the "essential uploading guide" here, but it says to use a USB cable. I went to radio shack and they were like, "Huh?" when I mentioned a USB cable with an .8" input on the other end. Will a regular audio cable work? If not, where would I find such a USB cable? I've downloaded SonicStage 4.0, but any other tips for starting an upload would be of help. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 For starters, what MiniDisc unit (model) are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raintheory Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) The small end of the USB cable is a standard "5-Pin Mini B" plug. Common for use on digital cameras and other devices.Plug the small end into your Hi-MD and the standard USB into your PC. The device should show up in SonicStage and allow you to transfer with ease.

moreAAs Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) that did the trick the battery pack was blocking the USB port, so I couldn't even see that there was a place for the small end of the cable. Camera cable worked fine. Sonicstage took it from there. Very easy after that first step. Thanks!!!!!

raintheory Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Haha, yep the external battery back hides the USB connector You can also slide the little cover there over the USB to access the jack for the power plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
