raintheory Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 You'll need to get Sony's SonicStage software in order to transfer music to your MiniDisc: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=9586 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zehn Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) okay, downloaded and used now, experiencing 3 problems:1. When i use the "import option" i get all music files, but it dont take Itunes files in ? ( itunes is MPEG-4 Music file ) ? :S 2. Ive got some music on the minidisc (MZ-N505 Type-R) but i cannot get them over on the Pc, ? (It says its write-protected ? (Error code: 0000664f))3. Cannot put music onto the MD as it also says its write-protected ( same error code as be4 )To Raintheory - Thx for the quick reply //Zehn Edited July 16, 2007 by Zehn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoGeR Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 1) It will only take MP3 files.2) NetMD is one way traffic only - it allows you to transfer from PC to the MD only and not the other way around.3) Check that the little tab on the bottom of the MD is slide to close the hole.

raintheory Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Actually recent versions of SonicStage are compatible with AAC. Whether or not the file scanner will pick them up is another question, you may have to manually import the files. I do know that it isn't great with AAC tags.

Zehn Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Ive tried manually to find them but, cant it cant find the music under my Itunes folder .. any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 This may sound like a silly response, but are you using the "Import Folder" command and is the checkbox for "AAC files (*.3gp, *.mp4, *.m4a)" ticked?What version of SonicStage did you install BTW?

It only supports DRM free AAC files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zehn Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) File ---> Import ---> ( 3 options ) 1. Scan Folder .. Did this and tjecked all boxes for all kind of music files, thought that would pick em up, but instead it found all sound files to my games -.-2. Music File .. When i tried this one its the same, not able to locate Itunes music files - (MPEG-4) - it cant find em even when i select "find all sound files" 3. M3U File .. The same again .. its the same as under Nr. 2, this search just start with looking for M3U files, ..-------------Raintheory, Richyhu ..Ive downloaded 4.3 version from link in: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=9586 ( SonicStage CP 4.3 Europe Version ( Denmark ))Wrong version ?, might be if a newer version is able to detect and convert MPEG-4 music files into able music to put on MD ?-------------Richyhu Wrote:I'm not sure if Sonic Stage will import some of the DRM'd files from I-toons that have the .M4P extension.

Strungup Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think for SS , you need to convert the Mpg4 to MP3 before SS wil recocnize it .But I am on a Mac so I am not sure about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) From 4.0 on, Sonicstage has been AAC-compatible, I have used m4a and mp4 files on numerous occasions (though the tags never come across). If you purchased the files via iTunes store, they probably wont work with SonicStage due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management... basically restrictions that prevent you from doing certain things with the files). This is where the SimpleBurner method comes in....SimpleBurner can be found in the downloads section here in the forums, it is used to transfer audio CDs to MiniDisc, so you'll have to create a CD with iTunes or whatever first. You can even create an Image of an audio CD (using Nero or a similar program), mount it with a program such as Daemon tools (or Nero imagedrive), and transfer it that way with SimpleBurner (saving a CD). CD-RW's are also good for this, since you can reuse them.EDIT: Sorry to hear you're having these issues trying to get music on yr MiniDisc...
