Dear Asivery

Many years ago I recorded my own concerts with a Sony Minidisc and then transferred the audio to a Windows PC (using the Software Sonic Stage) as *.OMG file.
What I did not know by then was, they I needed to save the key which was hidden and stored on the Windows PC.
Nowadays I can no longer play these files.
Are you planning to work on OMG-files as well?

Hello,

I posted in the web minidisc github about this, but it seems like it would best fit here.

My MDS-NT1 is unable to be accessed by the web minidisc application. It is visible, and I can start a connection, but it ends up with just a grey spinning circle forever.

It was mentioned that the vendor and product ID may help, they are as follow:
VendorID: 054c
ProductID: 0081

If I can help out in any other way please let me know.

Seeing this page:

Some NetMD devices are missing

je780
s500
nt1
se9

see this page:

Would you be able to add Sony CMT-M333NT/M373NT bookshelf unit for device identification?

{ vendorId: 0x054c, deviceId: 0x00e7, name: 'Sony CMT-M333NT/M373NT' }

All functions seem to work fine on this unit so I don't think anything else is needed.
Thanks for your great work on this project.

Hi. Can you add the Panasonic SJ-MR250?

{ vendorId: 0x04da, deviceId: 0x23b3, name: 'Panasonic SJ-MR250' },

Hello everyone

I would like to make sure if ATRAC compression happens inside a Sony recorder?
Given this example:
I have uploaded a raw PCM with 16bit depth, 44100 Hz sampling frequency to a Net MD recorder with the following command.

netmdcli upload song.raw -f sp

I can play a song on a disc without any issues.
I am pretty sure an ATRAC compression happens inside a Net MD recorder.
However, I would like you to confirm if a Net MD recorder does ATRAC compression and netmdcli does nothing about ATRAC compression.

why does the MD device require a 16bit/44.1khz input file for recording in SP mode? If there is Net MD specification, I would be glad if you could show it to me.
FYI, I have uploaded a WAV file with 16bit depth, 44100 Hz to a Net MD recorder (bypassing Web MiniDisc) and it worked as well.

According to this question, if ATRAC compression happens inside a Sony recorder, will recording 1:1 with optical input produce the same result as Net MD recording?

Given this scenario:

• We use a recorder that supports both optical input recording and Net MD recording, e.g. Sony MDS-S500.
• We use a wav file 16bit depth, 44100 Hz as an input file for both two methods.
• We write the input file to a CD and use a CD player to get optical out for 1:1 optical input recording.
• We upload the input to a recorder with netmdcli and SP mode.

Are two ATRAC outputs on an MD identical or bit by bit match? If not, will it be very different that we can detect by our ears?

Thank you so much.

When importing music from a file, it would be super helpful to have Web MiniDisc automatically transliterate German umlauts and the ß-ligature as follows:

• Ä → Ae
• ä → ae
• Ö → Oe
• ö → oe
• Ü → Ue
• ü → ue
• ß → ss

For instance, Hey, süßes Mädchen! should become Hey, suesses Maedchen!.

Unfortunately I don't know about the rules for umlauts in Turkish or Norwegian e.g., but German with its seven diacritics in total should be a quick fix, and the transliterations given above are the official German rules when diacritics aren't available in a typeface.

Thanks!

When I plug in a Sony MDS-JE780 it reports it as a Sony MDS-JE980

Unfortunately, I cannot rename tracks using the Sharp IM-DR420. This works properly using vuori's linux-minidisc fork (netmdcli rename), so I suspect something different than in cybercase/webminidisc#12. How can I debug the webminidisc application to nail this down (I only use the version hosted by you)?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

My friend has just got Victor SS-NT1MD which is a Net MD component set.
However, Web MiniDisc does not support it.

I added a venderId and deviceId of this model to netmd.ts file with the following code:

    { vendorId: 0x04F1, deviceId: 0x6101, name: 'Victor SS-NT1MD' },

It works well with yarn run cli devices (I have updated the project on my local computer to use Yarn) and shows the connected device name as:

PS C:\projects\netmd-js> yarn cli devices      
yarn run v1.22.15
$ ts-node src/cli.ts devices
Found Device: Victor SS-NT1MD
Done in 3.28s.

However, when I tried to wipe a disc with yarn cli wipe --verbose, I got this error message.

The NetMDRejected exception was thrown when reading a reply status in
https://github.com/cybercase/netmd-js/blob/master/src/netmd-interface.ts#L314

In addition, I couldn't upload a raw music file to the device and got the same error message as:

I think adding a venderId and deviceId is not enough, we may need to deal with a low level API to get this work.
I hope you can help to me get Victor SS-NT1MD works with netmd-js.
Thank you so much.

FYI, here is a picture of Victor SS-NT1MD.

Just got a NH600D for testing, and somehow it has an ID of 0187 (as reported by Zadig), which is not 0186 as listed within netmd.ts. Much appreciated if you can look into this.

Hi can you add the Kenwood MDX-J9 to the netmd.ts
Here is the PID and VID

Device Address : 5
Manufacturer : Kenwood Corp.
Device Name : Net MD
Vendor Id : 2856
Product Id : 4100

Those are from Platinum MD. from the Google Device Log it loks like this

USB device added: path=\?\usb#vid_0b28&pid_1004#6&2b607cbb&0&1#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed} vendor=2856 "KENWOOD ", product=4100 "Net MD ", serial="", driver="WinUSB", guid=03fa1357-45e6-43be-9195-b74e9f8265f3

How to reproduce:

npm install
npm run build
