NetMD for Windows 7 64bit

Hi,

I've been trying to get my CMT-M333NT connected to my PC (running win7 64bit), but I can't get it to work. I have the original disc that came with it and have installed the software. (while installing, I get this error:

The following files did not self-register or unregister:

1 C:/Program Files (x86)/Common files/Sony Shared/AVLib/OpcWMA.dll).

When I plug in the usb cable, Windows starts installing the drivers, but SONY USB COMM cannot be found (5 other are installed).

When I try to run M Crew, I get the error "Equipment does not respond. Check connection".

When I try to run Sonicstage, I get this error: "Cannot locate the application required. Exiting application."

All I want to do is use NetMD to transfer some music to MD!

Can anyone help?

NetMD (and PCLK for MCrew) drivers won't work under Windows 7 (or Vista) 64-bits.

If you have the Home Premium version, you may as well give up. At the very least you need Professional. This enables a download of the XP compatibility layer (actually a full copy of XP running under MSFT's Virtual PC). Should then be able to install the USB drivers and stuff for what you want to do without problems.

Note that it may be possibly to run 32-bits on top of one of the other Virtual machines. But I fear that the problem there is going to be the drivers. It's not clear to me if VMWare or another VM setup will do what you need. So it's probably time to get the upgrade. (Yeah, I know it's a Microsoft plot, heheh).

Hope this helps! Welcome to the forums.

I updated the .inf to include as many NetMD devices as I could locate, also added as many HiMD devices and their USB codes as well.

I tested with:

N1

N910

RH10

NH600

All units installed without issue except the NH600, which I had to update the driver for manually in Device Manager, after which, no issues at all.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate, I installed SonicStage Connect Player 4.3 Ultimate, each unit was recognized as a Net MD device in SS with an old LP2 transfer, each unit could read the disc without issue. Used the N1 to delete the old recording, ripped an album into the SS library and then transferred it to the disc as LP2. Transferred second CD of album with RH1 onto the same disc. I then proceeded to reformat the disc in the RH10 as HiMD and transferred one of the albums onto the disc as 352K ATRAC3plus.

After formatting, Windows 7 reloaded the RH1 driver to see the MD unit as HiMD.

Works like a charm!

Good stuff. Maybe we should/could add the known decks to the supported devices. I have a JB980 (which I could test), the JE470,480,770,780 should all work too, as well as various NetMD bookshelf units. Could it be they finally rolled all the driver fixes into one working driver? That would be amazing!!!

I didn't understand what was special about the NH600 to make it not work out of the box. Perhaps you already had a driver (NETMD033.SYS) installed???

I am hoping this new driver gets rid of the "multiple drivers present causing slow uploads" problem with which we are so familiar. Looks like it's good for W32 as well, right? Although there might need to be a registry entry for that, the one there looks like its specific to WoW6432 ie 32bit hosted on 64bit.

I think adding the USB identifiers for any Decks which are known is a great idea. I do not have any USB capable decks and cannot test any. I know there were a few driver .inf files I found the other data in which had some identifiers I did not recognize so I yanked them.

I do not know if this .inf or .sys driver will work for Win32 installations, which would make the entire 32 bit section of the .inf invalid. A quick scan of the file has a readable reference to Windows 7. It may be compiled as a 64 bit library in which case it will not be loadable by any 32 bit OS version. Although your observation that the .inf references "WoW6432 i.e. 32bit hosted on 64bit" may mean you are right, it is a 32 bit driver made to work in a 64 bit environment while still retaining the ability to function as a 32 bit native driver.

We can test this by trying to update a 32 bit XP install NetMD driver with this one. I'll have to check that out later.

I think you are right about the issue I had with the NH600 on my machine. It was the first HiMD with a NetMD disk I tried to connect during my testing and I think it was reverting to a previously failed installation of a 32 bit NetMD driver. I had connected a couple of NetMD devices to my machine to talk to my VM install of SS, which never worked since the Windows 7 side of things would never allow connectivity.

SonicStage seems to run very well on Windows 7.

You'll have to test the slow upload issue and see if that is corrected. I have never used any of my RH1 units to perform transfers! Can you believe that! I just bought them because they are sweet ultimate machines...

I am quite ignorant about how all this USB driver stuff works. But as far as the registry references go, the wow6432 section is simply the part of the w64 registry that emulates 32-bit operation. Any reference to a registry value one writes in a 32-bit app will simply show up here under this tree. So Sony's need to use it directly is a bit puzzling. I should have expected "real" 64-bit registry entries.....

Here's the contents of the NETMDUSB.INF which seems to contain 2 entries that are not in your modified version. They are x80 and x81 (2nd and 3rd lines in the list of devices). I am pretty sure 81 is the MDS-JB980, not sure what 80 is. The others all seem to be in your list.

OP has an CMT-M333NT. But that unit wasn't out in 2001, I think, so one would need a later file. I will look around in case no one else can find it.

Hi,

I've been trying to get my CMT-M333NT connected to my PC (running win7 64bit), but I can't get it to work. I have the original disc that came with it and have installed the software. (while installing, I get this error:

The following files did not self-register or unregister:

1 C:/Program Files (x86)/Common files/Sony Shared/AVLib/OpcWMA.dll).

When I plug in the usb cable, Windows starts installing the drivers, but SONY USB COMM cannot be found (5 other are installed).

When I try to run M Crew, I get the error "Equipment does not respond. Check connection".

When I try to run Sonicstage, I get this error: "Cannot locate the application required. Exiting application."

All I want to do is use NetMD to transfer some music to MD!

Can anyone help?

McGaggs, are you still with us?

What we need is the .INF file (not sure what it will be called) from that install disk. Can you upload it, either as a packaged zip file to the "downloads" section, or if that doesn't work, as an attachment to a post in this thread, or if THAT doesn't work, just find the .INF file and paste its contents in as we have done (the {code} {/code} pair is useful to make it look nice - notice I used { and } instead of [ and ] in my example so you could read it).

Stephen (moderator)

PS getting M-Crew to work is going to be a different problem as I think PCLK is a separate driver that probably hasn't been updated to 64-bit operation.

Another effective method of confirming the identifier for an attached USB NetMD device on Windows 7.

1) Connect the device via USB cable.

2) Watch sadly as Windows 7 fails to load a driver for the device.

3) Open the Device Manager (Right click on My Computer, select Properties, select Device Manager in upper left column).

4) Locate any "Unknown Device" entry, which likely represents the device just connected.

5) Right click on the device and click "Properties".

6) Select the "Details" tab and check the value for the property named "Hardware Ids"

7) All of the Sony NetMD devices identified to date have an id of the form "USB\VID_054C&PID_nnnn".

8) Right click on the property and select "Copy".

9) Post your results here with the name of the device and the hardware id.

It seems that most of the NetMD devices manufactured have been identified, but some of the NetMD Decks may be missing or not properly identified. This is a sure fire way of identifying the device ids for every device.

Once known, these devices can be added to the driver .inf file for automatic driver installation upon discovery.

Forgive me, I'm a bit of a newb at this - though I've been into MD and HiMD for years, and I used to post on the MDCF some while back...

I'm a bit unclear what is required here... is it a download of the driver that j-p posted the link to, and/or a rewrite of the inf file... and is that just a case of copying and pasting the whole of the revised text or just certain bits of it?

A quick step-by step guide would be really useful here for those of us who aren't quite so confident in chopping about in their program files. Either that, or I'll have to hope that Arvin writes it into a new version of the Ultimate SS download sometime soon.

I've got quite a lot of legacy MD recordings I'd love to get onto my Win7 x64 installation of SS without having to go around the current loop of loading them onto SS on my netbook (XP x32) and then back onto HiMD and from there onto SS on my Win7 machine.

You know it's so good to know that there are still others out there across the globe who still appreciate the subtle charms of MD and HiMD. :-)

Great!

Now I don't actually have W7-64 here, so I recommend we get Azureal in on the act. The INF file you posted is for the PCLK part. I think there is probably a SECOND set of drivers for the NetMD, is the only problem. So we may still need that ID. It's probably in NETMDUSB.INF. Please post that if it exists. Depending on that we may still be able to help.

This driver you posted doesn't help fix the NetMD (ie your ability to download files to the unit) part at all. It's helpful to me personally because now I understand a bit more about the mechanism of the setup (which I don't have) for those machines which have no PS/2 (that's not PlayStation but Personal System, an IBM name nothing to do with Sony) cable to control them, but only a single connection via USB. That is the CMT-C7NT, the CMT-M333NT (and CMT-M373NT too), and the CMT-M100MD (this one isn't listed on the equipment browser), and the various LAM models (which have separate setup files anyway).

This is getting complicated because I can't test any of it. What it looks like happens is that the system barfs because the opcWMA.DLL will not work in the 64-bit environment. A totally different problem to the one noted by everyone else. And I have a horrid feeling you are out of luck because Sony isn't going to fix a ten year old system. The file that wouldn't install may need a 64-bit wrapper and you aren't going to get one this way.

What you need to do is to run in the XP compatibility box. Save yourself a headache and go and buy the upgrade to W7 professional. Then you can install PCLK (and all the other stuff too) under "XP" (which is what the compatibility box is) and it is guaranteed (!?) to work.

Clear as mud?

Stephen

PS - if you can live without the PCLK functionality, you may be able to at least have this as NetMD device by adding lines to the file Azureal posted in the proper places like this:

You'll also need the netmdusb760.sys driver on hand

Very cool. I'll help you guys have a closer look at this later this evening (EST). Going to a holiday party this evening and the wife just said "why don't you get ready", you know how that goes :-).

Also, a note to MichaelBeardy, we can package all of this up with a nice tidy list of instructions shortly. Would be nice to get it into the install package for CP 4.3 Ultimate, but still very usable for all as is, after a little cleanup ...

Aha! We finally found the device id of the 333/373. It's E7. Makes sense. I'll edit my post above.

Still unlikely that PCLK functionality will be enabled without using the XP virtual machine, though.

Yet one more detail for Azureal and his merge job - the LAM-1 is device # 80

Thanks - and you know, I just can't tell you folks how much it makes me grin to know how much passsion and commitment there still is amongst users for the whole MD format (I type whilst listening to a Sony MDS-JE520 that a friend gave me because he no longer used it...).

For rudimentary version control, I am posting this updated .inf as a new post. I think I have correctly added all of the additional devices discovered and noted by everyone. I am not certain, as Stephen mentions whether the devices originally set to use the pclkusb.sys driver will function with the netmdusb760.sys driver, someone will need to test that functionality out.

Once we are in agreement that this config file is correct, perhaps we can re-zip all of the components and upload to the files section with a tutorial.

Azureal,

Do you mean that if I overwrite the

c:\program files\sony\personal audio driver\NetMDUSB.inf file with the file you list above, my RH1 with a netMD disc inside will work on W7 64b ?

Now it doesn't, it only works with SS 4.3 on W7 when a Hi-MD disc is inserted.

Thanks for your help and commitment,

Thx JP, I use the driver to get my Net MD MZ-N707 working on Windows 2008.

Just modifed the inf file so...

.....

WolfWare

Forgot to add, worked a treat, first time :)

Oh Wolfware,

Like you, (as you said on your post 25th nove) I'd like to make my N707 run on SS 4.3 with W7.

The .inf you mention is that located in c:\program files\sony\Personal audio driver\

and named : NETMDUSB.inf?

Thanks :-)

:imsohappy:

MA (from France) :thank_you2:

Feeling like a total noob reading all this,

USB\VID_054C&PID_0186&REV_0100

USB\VID_054C&PID_0186

Hardware IDs showing in Win7 32 Pro for my Hi-MD Walkman MZ-DH710, bought here in Canada from the Source but Sony support says was Latin Markets only, Puerto Rico, Central America, go figure where they source their stuff from :)

Trying to use the MP3 player function of the device but it's not showing up in explorer, wmp or anything but ss.

Drag and drop is supposed to work on this no?

I assume from the AMD386 portions of these edited .inf files that everything is still 64bit application or does the last one work for win32?

Impressive that you guys are still using this stuff as I have just lucked into a bunch of equipment and disks and like the way they work - sort of...

iPods just don't work for me, off hand what is the highest bit rate hat these devices support?

Cheers!

If you are running W7-32bits everything should work. If the ID needs to be added to some .INF file, then you must add it. The ID only gets you NetMD function, which has

a. nothing to do with MP3

b. Nothing to do with HiMD

But you won't need that ridiculous wow6432node thing down at the bottom. Either fix that INF file to remove all the 64-bit stuff, and delete that piece of the registry key, OR (maybe easier) add your device to the "standard" INF file netmd033.inf (I think).

If you're not comfy hacking all that stuff come back to us and we'll try to guide you and/or post what you need.

I don't think the REV_0100 part of the device id, check? (someone who knows better about this than I do please chime in). If so then it's already thinking your DH710 is being seen as an NH600. So maybe you just need to find the "standard" setup drivers to get NetMD functionality. You do NOT need NetMD to talk to a HiMD formatted disk as you have discovered.

You can play back HiMD through the USB using Sonic Stage (assuming you don't want to upload). This will be as good as it ever gets. NetMD cannot be transferred to or played on the PC (except the RH1 allows you to transfer that format).

I think DH710 is able to play MP3 because it's a second gen (they all started life with an MP3 sticker prominently displayed) HiMD.

Azureal,

Do you mean that if I overwrite the

c:\program files\sony\personal audio driver\NetMDUSB.inf file with the file you list above, my RH1 with a netMD disc inside will work on W7 64b ?

Now it doesn't, it only works with SS 4.3 on W7 when a Hi-MD disc is inserted.

Thanks for your help and commitment,

Oh Wolfware,

Like you, (as you said on your post 25th nove) I'd like to make my N707 run on SS 4.3 with W7.

The .inf you mention is that located in c:\program files\sony\Personal audio driver\

and named : NETMDUSB.inf?

Thanks :-)

MA (from France) :thank_you2:

mappec,

You don't need to overwrite any files manually. Just place the .sys, .cat and .inf files in any directory together and point to that directory when asked for the location of the new driver. Windows will copy the files to the correct location and make the appropriate registry modifications to load the driver for your device when it is plugged in to your machine.

I am working with sfbp to get the appropriate files with the updated .inf file uploaded into the drivers section of the forum.

W7-32 works with SS 4.3 RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX (actually the fantastic Avrin download "Ultimate" installer).

If it doesn't work for you, something is amiss.

What this means is you only need to do anything referred to in this thread for W64.

Hi !

Sorry if i did not get it, but i downloaded the files and replace the old one by yours (.txt in .inf ...) but my mz n710 is still not recognize by my computer. When I tell him which file he can find the drivers, it says that there are no drivers for my Walkman on the computer ... (Windows 7 64 family edition)

I don't really know what i'm doing so do you have any thougts ?

Thanks (and sorry for my english)

Not sure (yet). Where is the netmd760.sys relative to the other files? You need these all in the same place

netmd760.sys

netmd760.cat

netmd760.inf (filenames are not case-sensitive in Windows)

Then tell the installer to look for netmd760.inf.

I know the PCLK stuff isn't going to work but I still don't have a 7-64 machine to test anything with. It also needs to get uploaded. So if we can get you working, probably I will do that (upload).

Cool,

I guess i just did something wrong yesterday because i tried again this afternoon and it works just fine !

So (for Win 7 64bit):

- First I Pasted all last azureal post in a txt, renamed it in NETMD760.inf

- Then i plugged my Net Md (error sound)

- Peripheriques (plugs ? i don't know the English word) and locate the new driver

- The driver is not signed, so there is a error message ... whatever ... press ok

- It worked !

Thank you guys you're the best, i can't thank you enough !

EDIT : Arf, i just remember why i stopped using that *** Md, ... we can't download files we recorded .... how could i not remember that !!! Anyway, thanks !

Good evening board, I've been an avid minidisc enthusiast for the past few years and last night after getting home from work and having the urge to see if some solution has surfaced about this sonicstage 64-bit windows 7 nonsense and much to my surprise it's finally here!

Absolutely no idea how stoked I am, first shot I gave it, everything worked flawlessly. No more VMWare and Windows XP transfers.

THANK YOU!

Hello everyone,

I wish you a happy new year ..

I need some enlightments ..

The modified driver-files you gave are meant to make a NetMD Device be recognized by W7 64b.

Is it OK ?

Another problem that I'd like to solve is the following :

When I plugg a Hi-MD device (Sony RH1) on my W7 computer, it depends on the type of MD which is inside.

If it is a Hi-MD disc, everything is all-right.

If it is a Net-MD disc, the device is not recognized.

I need to use my Sony Rh1 (Hi-MD device) to load the content of my Net-MD discs and copy them on the hard disc. I used to do that on my XP computer.

I wonder if the drivers you gave are the solution for this second problem .. ??????

Thank you for replying and helping ...

Mappec ;-)
