MiniDisc DAT Walkman Portable MiniDisc Recorder. MDLP Mini. Disc Long Play modes LP2 and LP4 respectively. Open. MG Check InCheck Out Interface Playlists on the left, MZ N1 on the right. From your Open. MG Jukebox playlist, you are allowed 3 simultaneous downloads or check outs of a song at one time. Once all 3 check outs have been used up, the song will still exist on your harddrive, and you will still be able to play it on your computers jukebox. However you wont be able to download it to another MD until one of the checked out copies is checked back in. Checking in a track will delete the song from the MD and increment the number of your available check outs in the jukebox by one. Note that there is no way to upload a track recorded on an MD up to the harddrive at high speed and the check in process doesnt involve any actual audio upload. This is an unfortunate limitation for those that were hoping to be able to transfer their live recordings and interviews onto their harddrive to use with other applications. Perhaps in the future. The speed of the PC to MD transfer check out depends on the selected MD recording mode 2 4x for SP 2. ATRAC, 1. 6x for LP2 1. ATRAC3, and 3. 2x for LP4 6. ATRAC3. The number of available check outs is indicatedby the number of music notes in front of a song The symbol in front of track 3 indicates that no more check outs are available, but you can still continue to play back the song on your harddrive. In terms of controlling the MD unit itself, Open. MG Jukebox is greatCDDB can be used to label tracks prior to ripping them from CD, and those track titles are transferrend to the MD unfortunately some users seem to be having problems with CDDB see the bottom of this page under the glitches section. The software also lets you change the track titles on the disc, as well as the disc title itself. You can move tracks around on the disc by dragging and dropping them to the desired target location. The jukebox software will even manage your groups on the disc create new groups, rearrange them, move tracks from one group to another, etc. Songs can also be deleted by hitting the delete key on the keyboard or by right clicking the song on in the window and selecting the delete option. The only thing the jukebox does not let you control is track dividingcombining. Open. MG tracks can be freely edited divided, combined, etc, on the harddrive, but once you download a track to MD, youre stuck with it as is. Tracks that are checked out via the jukebox software are Track Protected on the MD, and cannot be edited aside from simple renamemove operations nor be deleted. On the external device MD side A music note in front of a title indicates thatthis song was checked out from Open. MG Jukebox. The Open. MG Jukebox software will only work with Sony Net. MD compatible models of MD recorders. It will not work with an R9. R9. 09 or any older model. If you own one of these older models and want to transfer songs from PC to MD at high speed, youre out of luck. This might seem fairly obvious, however Ive already seen discussion board posts titled Where can I download Open. MG for my R9. 00Installing the Software. Surprisingly, the Open. MG Jukebox software CD that comes with the Japanese model of the N1 will install in either English or in Japanese yes, importers, you heard me right, the software is in English, depending on the language of your OS it seems to detect this upon installation, and chooses the language without asking the user. Some of the installation is in English, and a few parts of it are in Japanese although the portions which are in Japanese are obvious just keep clicking OK there really arent any confusing choices for the user to make. The Open. MG Jukebox installation CD ROM Photo courtesy of Minidisc Korea www. When you first put the CD into the CD drive, the following screen pops up. Dance House Vol 1 Nexus. Open. MG Jukebox 2. Install Screen Be sure to install BOTH parts Important Note that BOTH of the above items Open. MG Jukebox 2. 2 and Net. MD Driver need to be installed, and each of the two parts requires a reboot. Remember this, since the software wont recognize your N1 unless the 2nd part Net. MD Driver is installed, and it is easy to forget that you still have to install the second portion, since the install window doesnt pop up automatically after your system restarts. Once you install both components and open the Jukebox software, you should be able to plug the cradle into your PCs USB port, dock the MZ N1 into the USB cradle, and be ready to go. If there is no disc in the N1, then the computer will not detect the Net. MD hardware, so make sure there is a disc inside. The manual states that you may have difficulty if you plug the cradle into a USB hub as opposed to straight to a USB port on the computer itself, but I have been using a USB hub which is integrated into my monitor without any problems so far. Once you install the Net. MD drivers, plug the N1 into the USB cradle and click the DEVICEMEDIA tab. The software should recognize the N1 under both the Check InOut and DeviceMedia window tabs. If you click on the DeviceMedia tab, you will see a listing of all of the tracks on the current minidisc, with all of the track information even the size of each track on the minidisc in megabytesAbove the MDs playlist, you will see the amount of time that is recorded, and the amount of time remaining. Display of time recorded and time remaining on MD.
