bread_voter1 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I have recently been given MZ-NH1 by a friend as he has the IPOD bug, I did I have a minidisc recorder a few years ago but I made a the big mistake of selling it, so am so pleased to have a minidisc again as the mp3 players I have not been impressive audio wise. I have windows vista 64 bit on my pc and sonicstage wont work with the MZ-NH1, I also tried using realplayer one but yet again I could not get the player to work. Can someone offer me some advice other than installing a 32 bit operating system how to get my player to work, ideally I would like to use sonicstage as my friend gave me discs with music on that I wish to upload on to my pc. Also as I side issue were can I obtain a new usb lead for the MZ-NH1 as the current lead is difficult remove from the player at times.

For the USB cable, you have to squeeze the edges to remove, I believe for your other concern there is a thread about installing a virtual machine in your Vista 64 and installing a 32 bit OS, best to search, Enjoy the NH1, beautiful unit Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gujarati Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sonicstage works finr with Vista/ Win7 64-bit ONLY for disc in Hi-MD mode. This is because NetMD drives for 64-bit were never created. If you do not care about NetMD, then reformat your NetMD discs to Hi-MD using NH1 hardware. If you want to access NetMD discs using sonicstage, best option is to run WinXP under virtual machine (comes with USB support): http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Isn't the new Virtual PC with USB support designed for Windows 7 only, and not for Vista? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gujarati Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Isn't the new Virtual PC with USB support designed for Windows 7 only, and not for Vista? That is true. For Vista x64 (or even Win7), here's what I have to run NetMD under SonicStage: VMWare player freeWindows XP or 2000 (needs license)To enable folder sharing between WinXP & Vista, you need to install VMWare server trial to get the folder sharing support files. Once installed and working it is ok to uninstall VMWare server trial. I have this setup working under Win7 and had it working under Vista x64 before I upgraded. If you run into any problems, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
