What is Net MD ?
By connecting the unit to a computer via a
USB terminal, it is possible to download music
data stored in your computer from CDs and
internet music sites to the unit’s MD.
What you can do with Net MD
You can use BeatJam to convert the music
data stored in your computer to OpenMG
format, send it to MD player and record it
onto MD.
You may record in LP2/LP4 mode also. The title of
each track will also be recorded.
MDs made using Net MD can be listened to just
like MDs made from CD using any MD player. It is
also possible to record to other MD players using
the analog connections.
There is a limit to the number of times you may
checkout to one piece of music data.
If you return the data checked out to the computer
(check-in), you may check out for a second time
