Does Linux-Minidisc work yet?

I've been trying to use the "Linux-Minidisc" software running on a Windows XP PC with my MZ-NE410 (NetMD) minidisc walkman. I can't seem to get it to recognize the walkman when it's connected to the computer.

This walkman works fine with Sony SoundStage software and SimpleBurner.

Is the Linux-Minidisc software ready for use with non-Hi-MD devices (like my NetMD portable)? Or is it only ready for use with Hi-MD portables at the moment?

The chart showing functionality seems to indicate it can transfer SP/LP/EP tracks to and from NetMD portables.

It mentions something about using "libnetmd" but when I go to the linked page I get a gnuzip archive that just seems to be a bunch of source code files. I don't know how to use it with the Linux-Minidisc software.

Is anyone having success?

You cannot use QHiMDTransfer to transfer non-HiMD files. It will be renamed QMDMusicTransfer (or QMusicMDTransfer, I don't remember which), as soon as that functionality is merged into the main program.

There is the capability but it exists (for you at any rate) as a bunch of python scripts which are, at best, somewhat cumbersome. Libnetmd has not yet been integrated.
