Rich963 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hello. I've had non-Hi Mds for years and only had 1 disc go bad (out of dozens!). Since I've had Hi-MD, 6 out of the 10 discs I have are unreadable ("format error disc"). I've managed to recover some of the files from the discs, but I don't know how to decode the music from them. Can anyone help?One of the main reasons I bought my MZ NH600 was that I was told it could upload my musioc to my PC. I have only managed to do this with 3 Hi-Md discs, the others are corrupt, and the non-Hi MD discs won't upload at all. Surely someone has managed to find a way to transfer these without the laborious line-out method?! I have about 20 discs to transcode, then I will not be needing my 2 MD units anymore. Is anyone interested in retrieving the music from them in return for the 2 units and the discs?Thanks.Rich963@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 600 is a very basic model, will only upload what it records. Where are you? PM meBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 True. If you really want the NetMD tracks... The only model I am 100% certain allows you to upload out of the optical port from a NetMD disk is the MDS-JE640. There may well be others, but it is the only one that I have touched that does. It's also capable of editing NetMD downloaded tracks, and I am pretty sure most later models are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich963 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks for the advice guys.All my 'Net MD' discs were actually recorded via line-in (as are my Hi-Md ones). Does this mean that I could use an RH1 to upload all my songs to my PC? Does it do it via USB?If so, it may be worth my while getting hold of one. I'm not familiar with the optical method - does it have to be done in real-time? Would I need a special card for my PC?A lot of questions I know. Does anyone know how people got on with Sony retrieving their songs from Hi-Md (topic: Free Data Recovery Service for Sony Hi-MD 1GB)?Cheers,Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yes you could use the RH1.You could get a deck instead, but it would have to be an MDLP deck. And you would need an optical in on the PC to do it "properly". However since these recordings are at LP2 you could use Line In and probably not lose that much in quality. The problem is likely to be what do you *add* to the sound when importing (that is new and extraneous). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
