There are alternatives to using Sony's software for a minidisc. My buisness partner has one and he hated Sony's software. He also didn't like the USB transfers - almost every one of his songs would hickup or skip except at the highest bitrate.

Craig finally decided to go with a digital transfer (mini-toslink) and he's happy now. He'll setup his computer to play a given playlist, set the minidisc or record, and leave it. Bit-for-bit transfers, no messing with the Atrac-3 rights crap (you can only transfer a song 3 times to minidisc via Atrac-3), and better audio quality.

Dave.
