Why MiniDisc in 2026? I use MD to record some albums that are IMPOSSIBLE to buy because of the offensive prices (more than $150, even $600) especially from CantoPop or MandoPop !
And for digital albums I buy from Bandcamp and other sites.
That π½ media is perfect for me!
Weird, after the audio file is recorded to the disc, I can plug in the recorder over USB and change the name of the audio file. I hear the proverbial "scrunch" to indicate it is being written to disc.
So maybe the problem is with Platinum-MD's encoder...this seems like a library issue...
I've been using Platinum-MD on my Mac mini for a few years to convert/send audio files over USB to the recorder but the application is stuck on 'converting atrac'. I thought my Sony mz-n505 minidisc player had lost its ability to record.
However, I just successfully recorded a single track output through a USBC to 3.5mm cable to the minidisc recorder in LP2 mode, which tells me the problem is actually with Platinum-MD.
Yeay, the old tech is still working!
Now to fix the new tech...
