Re: MD to PC - any news?

NetMD was designed as a one-way street -- download in digital form to
minidisc machines, but no uploads.  There were a few attempts to work
around this by mindisc enthusiasts, but no real success.

The good news is that the new MD-RH1 recorder, working with Sonic
Stage 3.4 or 4.0, will allow you to upload original recordings made on
standard minidisc machines, including NetMD models.  The uploads use a
USB connection, transfer in digital form, and are copied at faster
than real time.

This upload feature is available only with the RH1 and its lookalike
MZ-M200 "professional" model.  The MD-RH1 costs about $320 in USA.

Incidentally, Sonic Stage will not copy tracks originally transferred
from computer to minidisc using NetMD.  Sony is concerned that these
tracks contain copyrighted music.
