webminidisc VS platinum-md

If it has the NetMD feature you can do so in a web browser now: https://github.com/cybercase/webminidisc

The code demonstrates how with the support of a browser, a combination of different web APIs, including WASM (for audio encoding) can be used to give new life to old technology. Also is an online version of the application that can be used immediately and a video demonstrating how to use it.

webminidisc for inspiration

It is also worth noting that web minidisc also has Japanese text support and is way easier to use (plus gives better quality SP). Check out the FAQ on how to get it working.

In case you did not notice, Stefano released zipped offline version of Web MiniDIsc. (with and without google analytics)

Some Japanese players and remotes (models ending with 'K') have high resolution displays capable of displaying Hiragana and Kanji alphabets. Such devices will try to read the titles from the full-width slot first, then fall back to the half-width slot if the full-width one is empty. Devices with low resolution display will only show the title from the half-width slot. More about this here: https://github.com/cybercase/webminidisc/pull/49 and here https://www.reddit.com/r/minidisc/comments/nzzckj/minidisc_kanji_support/

Slightly off topic, but if you have a NetMD device for your MiniDiscs, you could use Stefano Brilli's Web MiniDisc https://stefano.brilli.me/webminidisc/ to transfer the AAC files directly to MD. This would remove the need for optical-out and Audacity. Software details here: https://github.com/cybercase/webminidisc

This might help ... from the installation instructions for Linux on the Stefano's Webminidisc github (https://github.com/cybercase/webminidisc)

Hi folks, i use with a lot of satisfaction Platinum-MD for record my MD from flac. I though that we need to demonstrare our appreciate to developer. It's not easy to find donate button, there isn't on the app, but you can find at bottom of this page: https://github.com/gavinbenda/platinum-md

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

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

PLATINUM-MD for a good start with linux-minidisc
