It can't be done. It's a hardware limitation.

The only unit that will upload files in SP, LP2 or LP4 is the MZ-RH1.

Otherwise you have to do a realtime recording into your computer. You can automate that process slightly by using Hi-MD Renderer (see the thread in Software, or get the program free from Downloads). Its MD Recorder function has SonicStage play the files on the MD one by one and make a new file for each track. But that is a realtime recording.

You may see, if you search the net, old gizmos like PC Link or or other promised devices that say they offer "uploading" from MD. They don't. They just connect to various ports for realtime recording. With your unit, direct file transfer is one way only, from PC to MD--not the other direction.
