 **What type of MiniDisc devices are compatible with this software?**
-Generally, all MiniDisc devices with a USB connector (either //NetMD// or //HiMD//) are supported. Older models without USB do not allow any transfer of tracks to or from the MiniDisc besides using SP/DIF (TOSLINK or co-axial) or analog inputs/outputs.

+**I downloaded and installed both versions for MacOS but neither of them work for me, why?**
+Your version of MacOS is obviously older than the one we used to build //qhimdtransfer// for MacOS. You may try to compile the software yourself on your version of MacOS. Please see the appropriate section in this wiki: [[CompilingOnMac]]
 **Does this software also work on other operating systems other than Linux, Windows and MacOS?**

 **I have loads of old standard MDs with recordings I want transfer to my PC, what's the best way to do that?**
+The most convenient method is to use Sony's MZ-RH1 or MZ-M200 Walkman. These devices allow direct upload over USB to your computer. Depending on your operating system/computer:
+  * if you have Windows, please install and use //SonicStage//
+  * if you have MacOS or Linux, please see this [[netmdpython#upload.py_-_upload_tracks_from_standard_mds_using_sony_s_mz-rh1_m200|section]]
