G'day All,

Just thought I'd brainstorm with a few minds as mine is about to implode!!
I have returned from overseas and found my Sony MZ-S1 player and disks
to go along.

My issue is I am using a new computer and have installed software but when
I am trying to check in tracks it has a funny little squiggle, actually have just found
that it's called a zero symbol.

Am I just SOL? or is there another way to transfer the songs I have on MD's over
to my hard drive???

I appreciate any advice.

Damian

SOL.

Sorry to bring bad news, but the connection to the S1 is one-way: PC to MD. Not the other way around. There is no digital workaround on the S1. (Of course you can record the discs in realtime out of the headphone jack.)

Sony eventually changed that idiotic situation with Hi-MD, but the formats that the S1 uses--SP, LP2, LP4--can only be uploaded on one piece of hardware, the MZ-RH1 (also called the MZ-M200). Not even the other Hi-MD units can upload the old MD formats.

its analog but the hi-mdrenderer works very well. i use it all the time.

Yeah, I thought that this was going to be the case.
I appreciate the time you both took to answer my
question.

Have a good weekend.

Enjoy good Tunes,

Damian

Damian, if you're still checking, he's right--get Hi-MD Renderer. You connect the USB cord to control playback and record out of the headphone jack. Intead of getting one long recording that you'd have to edit, Hi-MD Renderer records each song as a separate track.

Look for the MD Recorder function button down at the bottom.
