Hi Folks, I've heard from reasonably reliable sources that NetMD will *not* support audio upload from MD to PC (what has looked like upload so far has just been "check-in"). So, I'm considering petitioning Sony to add the feature. Before doing so, I think it's wise to hash things out and see if

Hey there, I'm new to the list and I have a couple of questions about NetMD :) Firstly, I was reading the press release - when they say that NetMD will be backwards compatible with older minidiscs, do they mean that old MD recordings will play on new NetMD portables, or that NetMD recordings wil
