How to transfer Minidisc data format to MP3 including tags

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Dear Experts

Minidisc is great, but - today - I like my smartphone better. Therefore I'd like to transfer my Minidisc music data to MP3 data. Unfortunately, my MDS-JB 930 only outputs wav-files in real time. So, what have I to do to achieve my goal? Have I to buy a new MD player? Have I to install a certain software on my Win7 64 bit computer?

Be assured that any help really is appreciated!

Many thanks in advance, best regards

Unless you get a Sony MZ-RH1, you will have to upload (MD --> PC) your music in real time.

The simplest thing is to find a MD lover on this forum in the same country than you who have a RH1 and so who will do the job for you (upload with Sonic Stage to your PC all your tracks in the wav format, still have to convert all of them in MP3). Use both Dropbox then to get back the music on ask him to burn a DVD.

Success :-)! This is how it works with Win7 64bit:

1. Download SS4.3 Ultimate Rel. 2 und NETMD760 driver from here.

2. Unzip driver to a certain folder.

3. Install SS.

4. Start SS.

5. Insert a NETMD into RH1.

6. Connect RH1 to PC via USB cable.

7. You'll get a message that Windows couldn't find an appropriate driver - click it away.

8. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

9. In the list of hardware categories, locate any "Unknown Device" entry, which likely represents the device just connected - it's marked by a yellow triangle - and then double-click the device name.

10. Click the Driver tab, click Update Driver, and point Windows to the folder which contains the unzipped driver files.

11. Win7 will install the drivers. After completion you'll find NET MD device in USB-Controller category.

12. SS will show the contents of the NET MD on the right side of the screen. Now selected tracks can be transferred to PC with about tenfold speed :-).

13. Afterwards, you can save selected tracks as wav files to PC and covert them to other audio file formats with an additional program.

14. Enjoy!

Thanks again for helping.
