Issues downloading audio files from Sony minidisc to my computer

I don't think there's an MD card reader :-)

You can transfer the audio in a couple of ways. If you have a LINE IN jack on your sound card, you could play it back into your pc and use a product like Total Recorder to directly record it to an MP3 file. www.highcriteria.com

If you are doing this on a laptop, a USB to audio device would work. You can Google for results or try something like this http://www.altoedge.com/usbaudio/input.html

you will need to get a usb cord to upload it to the computer from it. ITs that simple

There are three set of software for your Sony Net MD Walkman MZ-N510 Personal MiniDisc Player.
Please download and USE the latest version of these files to avoid operation problem.
Please SELECT the correct operating system on the page before download.

what is the part number or model mame for USB MD cable? I can't find it and want to buy it, please help

This is not a solution, but an explanation.
There is nothing wrong with your Net MD. This is a standard feature Sony included to protect copyrights. An extensive search of available soft produced only one non-commercial product which promisses such transfer http://winnmd.net/
No idea if it works, it's a shareware.

You can download SonicStage CP v4.3 from Sony at the address given below.

In case you need it, the second address is a user manual for the player itself.

Personally, I've always found SonicStage to be buggy and annoying to use so for the last few years I've used RealPlayer to do the same job as it has plugins to support file transfers to NET MD units and seems to operate faster and certainly more smoothly.

Please don't forget to rate my answer.

You can download the driver and the sonic stage software ( which is required for transfering music ) from this link : http://support.sony-europe.com/dna/md/nmd/nmd.aspx?l=en&m=MZ-N710

I hope this will solve your issue.

Good Luck

If my solution proves useful please accept it.

You can't. it's an anti piracy measure built in at the hardware level.

Digital transfers are only possible from the host pc/Mac to the player and not the other way around. but you can transfer the audio signal by connecting the headphone output to the Mac audio input; look into the Minidisc player menu and you can set the headphone socket to "line" which bypasses the volume control circuits for better quality.

not install minidisk in my pc what am i should to do?

I've never bothered to use the software to transfer from MZ-NF810 to computer, partly because the software is not very good, but mainly because i think the whole thing about we not being allowed to download again from the computer due to legal issues are just so blah. Anyways, a guaranteed way to work the sound between the NF810 and the computer is to use play the NF810 and pipe it to the miniplug mic in on your computer and record on your computer (if you have a mac this could be SoundEdit.) To record from your computer, you plug in the optical cable on both the computer and the NF810 and play the sound on the computer and record on your NF810.
