soulfulbill Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hello from Brighton, UK. I wanted to check in all 20 tracks from Net MD so as to have a blank minidisc. But two of the tracks failed to check in due to an error despite repeated attempts. Can anyone advise please on how I can check in these two tracks or in some way delete the two tracks? Cheers, Bill. PS: Great forum. I'll be studying the live recording discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrik Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Can't you just delete the songs in SonicStage instead of checking them in? Otherwise you can use SimpleBurner to delete the songs. Or, if you're good with Linux, you can use Xmd to delete the songs. Supposedly it is also possible to delete songs in non-netmd minidisc players. If nothing else works, you can even erase the whole disc through the service menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulfulbill Posted March 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Bertrik, Thanks for a very comprehensive reply. However, I am afraid that I'm not knowledgable enough to fully understand your suggested methods of blanking the disc. I don't know what Sonicstage and Simpleburner are. I hope to blank the disc using a Sony MZ-R37 but I can use a Sony NetMD MZ-707 if necessary. I did try to blank the disc using the MZ-R37 but that's when I got the "Track Protected" message. Perhaps the best way is to blank the disc using the service menu but, again, I'm not sure how to access that either. I have the user manual for the MZ-R37 but that simply implies that a track - protected track cannot be deleted. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to point me in the right direction? Bearing in mind that I am not a techie! Cheers, Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrik Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 The service menu option is really a last resort thing. If you're not a techie, this is definitely not recommended (it's possible to mess up the player if you accidently make some wrong setting). SonicStage is the NetMD music 'management' software that comes with the player. It is similar to the OpenMG program (but I have no experience with that). Simpleburner is a no-nonsense tool to send CD songs to minidiscs. This page on minidisct forums has links to the files http://www.minidisct.com/forum/showthread....10&pagenumber=1 The 'latest and greatest' is SonicStage 2 which probably also supports your player, search for 'ss2_lite_rev2.exe. I recommend to install this and then use it to delete the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
