Transferring files from MD to PC

[MDRiggs]

My son has a bunch of MDs containing files he created himself, mostly of his own voice edited in ProTools and then transferred to MD. It would be nice to be able to get those files back into a PC, but I can't find a way to do this with a Sony MZ-NE410 Net MD Walkman. We have SonicStage 4.3 installed on the computer, and it can find the files fine via USB, but it refuses to transfer them. Any help welcome.

Thanks.

Hi Micheal, you basically have two options: 1: record live into your soundcard, this is a real time option.

2: Get an RH 1 or M200, these will allow you to upload digitally, forum is full of this, the old units were basically one way, with only titling information sort of two way, with the advent of Hi-MD, you could digitally transfer recording made on the unit back to the puter, and with the RH1 or M200, you could pretty much transfer anything back to the puter,

Have fun,

Bob

USB transfer works only in one direction from PC to MD. NetMD had no upload abilities. You'll have to copy in realtime though the headphone jack int y our PC's line-in of the soundcard.
