Hi,
I have 2 questions. First of all, I own a Sony NetMd (model 505) and I'm wondering if it would be possible to hook it up to my apple (iBook 14" 1.2Ghz, OS 10.3). The manual of the minidiscplayer says nothing about Mac compatibility and I already mailed the Sony support but never got a reply. I suppose it's not made to work on a Mac, but is it doable? Are there any special drivers or apps (not made by sony) that allow me to connect my MD to my laptop and import songs on it? (My webcam is not supposed to be OSX compatible either but I found some drivers for that and it works perfectly except for the high-res snapshots, so maybe something similar can be found for my md?)
secondly: I was thinking of getting a creative muvo 256 (old model, but now available real cheap) for use as a memory stick (mp3 playback comes strictly as a nice added bonus for me)
The box says it needs windows and doesn't mention apple. Will it work on my mac? Anyone own one and have experience with this?
Thansk for the info,
P.S.: Before you say: "get yourself an iPod" I need to say, I'm very happy with the md as it has extreme battery life (56hrs) and has 4x longplay, allowing me to have 5h+ of music on a 1.2$ disc at a good quality. It works perfectly on my PC (though the bundled software is sloooooow and rather dumb) and supports mp3, wma and wav.
