Andy1342 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I need to transfer minidisks to MP3 formal. Other posts tell me that the only quick way to transfer minidiscs to a computer is to buy an MZ-RH1/M200. These are not cheap! If it was cheaper, I could make the transfer in real time, _provided_ the quality of transfer is high and - absolutely essential - the track mark information is preserved. So is there a slower but still digital alternative to the MZ-RH1? My minidisks were made 8 or 10 years ago on an MZ-R35. They are all made from analogue line in so I guess there are no problems with DRM - is that correct? Many thanks! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Exactly correct. The only way other than the RH1 would be optical out from a deck, which will NOT preserve the track marks. However if you didn't have TOO much stuff you could probably add the marks back in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) There is an alternative to the RH1 for SP uploads: http://www.minidisc.org/part_HHB_MDP-500.html Edited December 5, 2009 by Avrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1342 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Thank heavens you told me that! - I had the delusion that optical would preserve the track marks. I've tried doing the track marks manually and it is just impossible. MZ-RH1 here I come! Regards Andy Exactly correct.

I have a Sony MZ-NH900, but when I try to upload music , Sonic Stage rejects it as having been recorded on another computer.
