Platinum MD- Stuck at "Negotiating with Sony MZ-N510/NF610"
There is a slightly newer version on Github called m1-hotfix that may work better on some macs https://github.com/gavinbenda/platinum-md/releases/tag/v1.2.1
- Any advice to get Platinum MD to work on my M1 MacBook Pro? I installed Homebrew and Platinum tells me all necessary libraries are installed. I just get this spinning thing forever, it never connects. Won't connect to any of my players (MZ-N505, MZ-N707, MZ-NE410, MZ-S1). Help!
- Hi MD and new MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chips

My sister and her wife just gave me their Minidisc players. Never seen these before and how do they work? lol
You can try webminidisc.com but it works with Mac only and be sure to use Chrome. You can also try https://github.com/gavinbenda/platinum-md/releases. This works with Windows as well. I personally never tried it. I only tried the webminidisc.com

Flac to Minidisc
Be careful with LP2/LP4, as WebMinidisc and Platinum MD both use atracdenc for LP2/LP4 and that's currently noticeably worse (especially for LP4) than Sony's ATRAC3 encoder (both the hardware encoder and the one in SonicStage result in better quality files).
-
Anyone used web.minidisc.wiki for writing?
It's really convenient and the GUI seems similar to but better than Simple MD Burner. Webminidisc SP works great, but the jury is still out on LP2 quality: some people find it--Webminidisc is just a frontend to the ffmpeg conversion tool and the command line atrac encoder atracdenc-- inferior to Sony's encoder. I've tested with several Type-S recorders and I'm not sure I can hear any difference between LP2 written by MD Simple Burner or Webminidisc (atracdenc). At the end of the day, I'm happy with Webminidisc because I don't have to fire up my old Windows XP laptop to run MD Simple Burner anymore.

lossy sound quality and the difference between Type R/S
WebMiniDisc uses an open source ATRAC3 encoder for LP2/4 - some people have said it is not as good as Sony's libraries in SonicStage or recording in LP2/4 mode on the player. I think it was more of a proof of concept/learning experience than an effort to completely replicate or improve on Sony's work. I'd be curious what kind of difference someone like you could pick out between the open source and Sony recording method.

cd2netmd_gui v0.1.5 available for test.
atracdenc - the external ATRAC encoder
-
cd2netmd - a command line tool for Windows to rip CD directly to NetMD.
I can add the LP feature by using the dirty atrac3 encoder to pre-encode the audio track before sending to NetMD devices which don't support the on the fly encoding.

Why does people recommend Platinum MD when even the dev says its LP2 converter is experimental and produces a hiss ?
It's all based on https://github.com/dcherednik/atracdenc
