for all of you who dont like the Openmg software heres an alternative.this is taken directly from the minidisc.org site FAQ. just in case you havent seen it yet.

"Dino Inglese, a Minidisc T-Station message board member offers this tip for using Simple Burner to circumvent OpenMG Jukebox (see his humorous original posting). CAVEAT: You will need Nero, and Nero's Imagedrive feature, or something similar that can create a virtual CD disc image and allow you to mount it to your desktop.

Five easy steps to a clean and hassle free MP3->MD download

Open Nero, select Audio CD from the presets and drag all the MP3's you want into it. Nero is far less picky about formats and sample rates. I found this method foolproof.

Save or 'Burn' your CD to your hard drive (not your burner). Nero will give you a default filename of 'image.nrg'

Use Nero's Imagedrive (bundled with Nero) to mount the .nrg (CD-image) you just created. Lets say Drive 'F' for this example.

I am not an expert, but I found these first 3 steps took around 2 minutes or less for a regular size audio CD (i.e. burning and converting about 10 MP3 tracks to an audio CD 'image' on my hard drive). I have a 1GHz/PIII, so that helps with the MP3->PCM conversion times. A faster machine would mean proportionately faster MP3 conversion and image creation.

Select your 'virtual F' CD drive in Simple Burner and burn it to Minidisc.

When you are done, trash the large .nrg file sitting on your desktop.

If your machine is fairly fast then Simple Burner's CD->ATRAC conversion is done in on-the-fly in RAM with the disk hardly ticking over at all. "

there are some pros and cons

pros

you can edit tracks after you transfer them

you can transfer track an unlimited number of times

a tad bit faster

no files left on computer

it works!

cons

transfering titles can be a hassle if you dont do it correctly.

requires bit more work

I can serve nero 5.5 if anyone needs it. its about a 20 meg download.

pm me and we can work something out.

Exactly how do you transfer titles the correct way using the NERO ->SimpleBurner Method? Every time I select Audio CD... and input all the text fields and check the box in the CD Title tab... so what gives? Any suggestions or reasons why the titles are being so difficult?
