-Welcome to the linux-minidisc wiki, dedicated to collecting as much information as possible regarding NetMD/HiMD hardware in order to get it to work on Linux, MacOS X and *BSD. If you want to contribute, you can do it in several ways. Either by contributing code (**please the section:** [[WriteAndSubmitPatch]]), testing our code or making suggestions, translations or graphics (see [[Tasks]]). We're happy about any support. Last but not least, there is also the possibility to donate us over PayPal. Have fun.
+Welcome to the linux-minidisc wiki, dedicated to collecting as much information as possible regarding NetMD/HiMD hardware in order to get it to work on Linux, MacOS X and *BSD.
+The project is managed over at Github:
+  * Git repo: https://github.com/glaubitz/linux-minidisc
+  * Issue tracker: https://github.com/glaubitz/linux-minidisc/issues
+  * Submit patches: https://github.com/glaubitz/linux-minidisc/pulls
+If you came here for the upload (from MD to computer) of ATRAC tracks as announced by the ffmpeg project, you want to go directly to [[NetMDPython]]. Digital upload works only with the RH-1 and on all //unprotected// tracks on MD formatted media. It does not work with Hi-MD formatted media, but on the other hand, the application QHiMDTransfer also offered by the linux-minidisc project can transfer all MP3 tracks and unprotected LPCM recordings from Hi-MD media.

-   * 4 = MP3s can only be played back on HiMD devices from second or third generation.
+   * 4 = Analogue upload only, MiniDisc device will be controlled by PC, audio data will be transferred over analogue cable.
-   * 5 = Use either Python scripts (see [[netmdpython|Python NetMD]]) or //libnetmd//.

-   * 6 = Analogue upload only, MiniDisc device will be controlled by PC, audio data will be transferred over analogue cable.
-   * 7 = May not work with some tracks previously transferred with SonicStage.
-=== Legal Situation ===
-Sony uses a sophisticated DRM (digital rights management) system called OpenMG
-in SonicStage and their NetMD and HiMD hardware to establish a secured and controlled
-environment for dealing with digital content. OpenMG ensures that digital content
-bought over their former online music store "Connect" or through the purchase
-and subsequent ripping of audio CDs, is protected against unauthorized copying
-and distribution. Since this content protection must also be maintained when
-copying the music onto the NetMD/HiMD hardware, both use some kind of encryption
-to transfer (NetMD) and store (HiMD) the content onto the media. This means,
-that it is not possible to transfer content to and from the devices without
-knowing these secret keys, i.e. alpha-numerical codes, from Sony which are used
-to de- and encrypt the content. We have asked Sony for their kind permission
-to disclose both these keys for NetMD and HiMD access into public so that we
-can use the keys in our open source software, but unfortunately, they did
-not grant us to do so. In the case of NetMD, we were finally able to generate our
-own, unencumbered key which is recognized by all known NetMD devices as a
-valid key and enables transfers to the device. For HiMD, we are planning to
-implement a mechanism which allows to load the necessary key externally such
-that it can be provided by the user. We do not provide these. (//The support
-for external keys is currently being worked on.//)
