Gene,
Thanks for the reply, but I think you misunderstood my question.
I'm not trying to transfer minidisks to! my mac. I'm trying to go the other
way. I'm trying to go from the mac to! minidisk. Might I add, that I'm
totally familiar with monitorring levels and patching things via line in and
such. I'm a professional audio producer for a living/engineer, so I work
with very high end studio gear every day like a 64 channel board, ProTools,
several different hardware pres, etc. Anyway, the problem is more in I want
to be able to locate mp3's on my system, then via USB quickly in offline
renderization, transfer/bounce them down to minidisk digitally over USB.
Apparently, there used to be software to do this task, but I couldn't find
it anywhere online.
The problem is, I could transfer with a stereo patch cable, but that would
only be an annalog signal, not digital, whereas USB would be a direct
transfer. OK, if it was an mp3, then obviously some mp3 loss artifacts will
be applied, but that's just the nature of the beast, seeing mp3's are
already compressed, but the point is, I'd still like to be able to get my
library transferred over to mini disk media digitally with this unit.
You're probably asking, why not just put it on your IPhone? I have, and
there is absolutely no objection to me doing that. I just like having the
stuff on minidisk kind a for the old school novelty of it. It's more just,
I do it, why? Because I can. LOL!
The other thing though is deleting tracks individually off of the disks when
I'm ready to reuse them. Seeing I can't see the menus on the device itself,
it makes it tough. This is why I was hoping if not to find something like
Sonic Stage, or OpenMG Jukebox, I could find something else for the mac that
would at least be accessible with Voiceover enough to the point I could
erase certain tracks off the disks. If I can't transfer via USB, then OK,
fine, I can live with that. I'll just use line in. It won't be ideal, but
it'll still work, at the end of the day. What I can't! however deal with is
not being able to erase things off the media. That's a bit of a
dealbreaker.
Anyway, hope this makes more sense, and explains more why I'm really seeking
some software, even if 3rd party, that would be mac cimpatible and at least
accessible enough to accomplish this.
I should add for the more techies on here, this unit does use NetMB so,
that makes it a little harder.

Hi Chris:
The mini-disk machines sure do have a nice clean signal compared with some
of the inexpensive digital recorders. If you want to use it as a recorder
and can not figure out how to either use it as an external drive or transfer
the files via USB to your computer, I would upload in real time by patching
from the audio output of the recorder into either an external sound card or
directly into the audio input of your computer and do all of the editing on
the computer with your audio editor of choice. You will have to monitor your
levels throughout the upload process to make sure nothing goes to hot. I had
to do this when I digitized my mini-disk arkives several years ago and it
is time-consuming.
