Scott--
I can't say there is a clear pattern that suggests to never rename
files in SS. Some people do it all the time without issue. I'm
cautious like Lou, I always let the transfer process happen with
settings no matter the recorder/platform/application.
Will the files still play on the Hi-MD disc? If so, you can use Total
Recorder which will record the playback through the system sound--
its still a digital transfer. There's lots of info about the "total
recorder" method in the Hi-MD community forum. Good Luck! Rob D.
