Unfortunatly, those are about the only two easy (if they
would work right) ways of doing it. You can also use
CD-Writer software such as Nero to create an audio CD image
(with the tracks you want to upload) and then make it
mountable and upload it with Simple Burner as you would a
normal CD. I use the RealOne version because it's a little
easier than the CD image way, and it doesn't have the
checkout thing OpenMG has...

there are people working on hacking netMD so there should be
some better programs in the future...

Ok then here's a question.
I have been considering getting a netMD for a while now but
all this talk of shitty software is worrying. I have close
to 20Gigs of mp3s all nicely labelled and sorted ;p
Question: Is this gonna be a royal waste o'money?

not at all. i think people are making a bigger deal out of
it than it is. my software works fine, it's just not as
fast as i'd like it to be. and though i dislike the concept
of a "check out' limitation, in actuality it doesn't matter
'cause there is no way i'm going to need to put the same mp3
to MD more than three times. i love my net md, you shant be
disappointed ithinks.

Yes I agree on that front but will I have to spend a lot of
time converting my mp3s to an netMD compatible sub-format?
If so in what way will this affect my mp3s?

when you opt for the prog to write the disk from mp3 it does
the conversion for you before it transfers. i don't know a
lot about the MD compression, but in lp mode (80 minutes per
disk) there is no noticeable quality loss. i'm not sure lp2
(160 minutes) is noticeable either, but i haven't spent the
time to compare.

but does it keep the conversion on the hard drive or does it
simply do it on the fly into a buffer and then transmits
that. I'm concerned that it may either duplicate my mp3s
(converting and storing thus filling an extra 20gb) or that
it may modify my mp3s.

Using RealPlayer you can choose if you'd like the NetMD
formatted songs to be kept to allow for faster loading to
your recorder, if for some reason you want to send the same
files again. You can also turn this option off so it
deletes NetMD formatted files. Either way, it never makes
any changes to your actual mp3s.

openmd doesn't change your mp3s. while it is converting you
will need the hd space for the converted files, but they are
deleted i believe. sounds like realplayer does just fine as
well.

any news on this?

Oh man wouldn't it be great if you could just use it as a
floppy disk?
I mean transferring your samples/liverecordings in just a
matter of seconds to your PC?

Tony: I you just want to play your mp3s get a mp3-player,
transfering to a mp3 player is A LOT faster.

But for recording - then MD is interesting...

There actually is a md which can transfer from/to a pc
without ANY restrictions - but it?s a pro model for 1500 $
and it only does it in real time (but I want one anyway! : )
