    I’ve seen videos of netMD. Do I need special drivers for the OS too?

    The main issue I have with buying one is that even when the ad says that it’s fully tested and working. I contact them and they haven’t actually tested recording.

    I have a Sharp MD Studio (great for recording and editing) and a Sharp portable. They don’t record anymore so I imagine it’s a common problem.

      oh yea, you have to install a driver manually as well, just follow the instructions here

      then this is the page where you can manage the tracks https://web.minidisc.wiki/

      when you say recording do you mean recording live audio or just “burning” tracks to the disk?

        Thanks for the links! When I say “recording” I mean any attempt to write to the disk or edit a track (eg a deletion). I get a TOC error. I’ve looked at repair videos on YouTube but I’m not up to the job. If it’s just a matter of cleaning though I think I could do it.
