A netMD Solution for the Mac?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday October 22, 2003 @12:25PM from the don't-fear-the-apple dept.

SmackyTheFrog asks: "I recently purchased a Minidisc player with netMD capability. At first this was fine because I always had my trusty PC near by. Now that I have gone off to college, I no longer have the space for my big beige box and I only have my PowerBook with me. Much to my dismay I discovered that Sony has decided not to grace the Mac with any netMD software. Are there ways to get netMD (ie 3 or more hours of audio) music onto a single minidisc using a Mac?"

Is this place of any use to you?

The files are converted to ATRAC and you'll have to deal with the stupid copyprotection scheme.

I use and old, pre netMD, Sony MD recorder and it has served me well but for the cost and trouble you would be much better off getting a 'real' mp3 player.
