You can buy one secondhand or score an even better deal by getting one from Japan. If you want to use MiniDisc in 2020 and beyond, you should make sure you at least have a Sony NetMD player to make transferring music fast and easy. The Web MiniDisc project recommends the WinUSB driver that comes with a free tool called Zadig. On Windows 10, you'll need to install a generic WinUSB driver to talk to the NetMD device. MacOS works with the Web MiniDisc project out of the box-no additional drivers or add-ons are required. What you do next depends on which operating system you have.

However, this support doesn't include Hi-MD devices or those manufactured by companies like JVC and Panasonic. The Web MiniDisc project makes it possible to use Sony NetMD players on modern Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. It shouldn’t be necessary, but one user also reported the need to log in to Windows with an administrator account and to uninstall the current drivers before running Zadig, so try that if you continue.Using MiniDisc via the Web MiniDisc Project

The Windows 10 upgrade process appears to replace the WinUSB drivers with the Windows DVB-T ones, so reinstalling the SDR drivers is necessary.

Make sure you pick the right one! Libusb-win32 should now install the libusbK DLL.

Zadig is now provided in 2 versions: One for XP users that includes KMDF/WDF 1.09 and one for Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 users that includes KMDF/WDF 1.11.

Hi Markus, I never did get that far- so I can’t tell you anything useful about using the configurators on UBUNTU.
