Vincent Sherry Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I already have the player and charger. I just need the USB cable. I currently have three Hi-MD models. This is the only one I can't connect to a computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Hi @Vincent Sherry. There's a guy based in Hong Kong over on the r/minidisc Reddit who might be able to sort you out with one. His username is u/gerry88inHongKong. He seems to be able to get hold of pretty much every obscure MiniDisc accessory going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmsla Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Hi Vincent, I just inquired with the guy BearBoy mentions regarding an adapter plug that substitutes for the cradle and the original USB cable for attaching the NH1 to a computer. His name is Gerry and he now has a website. https://mdgadgetry.com/ (thanks to BearBoy for informing the community about this site; see BB's post of July 4, '24) Did you get one of those adapters by chance. If so, are you satisfied with it? link to the accessory adapter: https://mdgadgetry.com/products/Sony-MZ-N10-Adapter-p675099857 If you haven't gotten one you might be interested in what I learned from inquiring. Here is Gerry's reply to me: Hi James Thank you for your email. The adapter charges via usb-C, it has built in voltage regulator and it will bring voltage from a 5V usb-C to the necessary 6V for this player. Alternatively, if you have a 6V wall charger, you can also use it with this adapter as it has charging port for that too. As far as data transfer goes, it has a switch on it to toggle between charging mode and data transfer mode. I hope this answers your questions. Regards, MDGadgetry So, 2 input ports and a toggle switch! With this you wouldn't need the cradle at all, the NH-1 it will be freed from the cradle for general use; recording and playback powered by the 6V wall plug. I hope this is helpful, I plan to order one of these adapters and other accessories and will report my experience and on the items i get. Best, -ja NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Hmmm... what's an NH10? Or did I miss something.... Looks to me like that picture is an NH1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsla Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 True, and this didn't go unnoticed. However, I am relying on an age old bit of wisdom that advises: One picture is worth a thousand typos and some lost translation between East and West. My dock replacement Adapter will be shipped out Monday and if it should happen not to fit my MZ-NH1, this forum will be the 2nd to know. The 1st will be Gerry. As far as the ersatz MiniDisc model goes; if there isn't an NH10, perhaps there should be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umby Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 Hi, someone of you can seggest a pc program that works with my MZ-NH1 and win 11?? Thanks Thanks Thanks! Umberto Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 Hi @Umby. Welcome to the forum 🙂 I find Web MiniDisc Pro to be really good for NetMD on Windows 11 but I don't have any Hi-MD machines. There is a guide to it on the MiniDisc Wiki HERE. They have recently introduced Hi-MD functionality to the app but I have no first hand experience. There is some info re the Hi-MD capability HERE I think the only other option for Hi-MD would be Sony's SonicStage, which can be installed on Windows 11 PCs. I have never used it myself but I know @sfbp has a lot of experience with it and might be able to offer some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 We really need a separate topic here but I am too lazy as I am away from home right now. 2 things: 1. you will need to install the 64-bit driver from our downloads section (NetMD760) 2. you must turn off driver signing for long enough to install it. This has been made MORE difficult in W10 and 11 but not impossible. If you're still stuck I can help but there are numerous posts illustrating how to do this on the site.
