Thanks A440.

Yes it's an MZ-RH910.

I can import the files written on the minidisc from cassette into SS4.2 where they appear as HI MD. However, when I write them to CD they appear to transfer, but there's nothing on the CD when I go to play it. I've read the manual and can't find any explanation for it. Any thoughts?

Also I am using a normal 80 minute disc and it only seems to be half full, yet I can't get record anything else on it. I was hoping to transfer lots of old cassette material to minidisc this holiday, but it doesn't look as if it will be possible!

Regards,

mercurius

Be careful you didn't make an "atrac cd" or "mp3 cd" but "audio cd" to be able to play with any deck

As long as the files are in My Library--and are playable, I assume you've tried--then perhaps you should use something else to burn the CDs. I never use SonicStage for anything that doesn't absolutely require it.

Highlight the files in SonicStage and under Tools, click Save in .wav . Make a new folder for them. When converted, they are unencrypted and free for you to use.

If for any reason SonicStage doesn't want to Save in .wav, then download Hi-MD Renderer (under Software Discussion) and use that to convert them to .wav.

Then use another program to burn a CD: Windows Media Player, Winamp, iTunes, etc.

By the way, if you have a Line-in input on your computer (or buy the Griffin iMic for about $40, which will give you a line-in jack via USB), you could skip the whole minidisc stage and just record directly into your computer--just connect the headphone-out of the cassette player to Line-in and record with Audacity.
