Damiang Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 G'day All,Just thought I'd brainstorm with a few minds as mine is about to implode!!I have returned from overseas and found my Sony MZ-S1 player and disksto go along. My issue is I am using a new computer and have installed software but whenI am trying to check in tracks it has a funny little squiggle, actually have just foundthat it's called a zero symbol. Am I just SOL? or is there another way to transfer the songs I have on MD's over to my hard drive???I appreciate any advice.Damian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 SOL. Sorry to bring bad news, but the connection to the S1 is one-way: PC to MD. Not the other way around. There is no digital workaround on the S1. (Of course you can record the discs in realtime out of the headphone jack.) Sony eventually changed that idiotic situation with Hi-MD, but the formats that the S1 uses--SP, LP2, LP4--can only be uploaded on one piece of hardware, the MZ-RH1 (also called the MZ-M200). Not even the other Hi-MD units can upload the old MD formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damiang Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah, I thought that this was going to be the case.I appreciate the time you both took to answer myquestion.Have a good weekend.Enjoy good Tunes,Damian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Damian, if you're still checking, he's right--get Hi-MD Renderer. You connect the USB cord to control playback and record out of the headphone jack. Intead of getting one long recording that you'd have to edit, Hi-MD Renderer records each song as a separate track.Look for the MD Recorder function button down at the bottom.
