Sorry, the only hint we can give you now is to still use Sonic Stage.
You will hit to major problems:
The first is that the encryption used by all Hi-MD Walkman devices
except for the RH-1 has not (yet?) been broken, so we can not decrypt
the audio data recorded by the MZ-RH910.
The other is that Hi-SP is ATRAC3+, and we don't know of any ATRAC3+
decoder for Linux. QHiMDTransfer would (if decryption worked) produce
a .OMA file which can only be imported by Sonic Stage (or its successor
"Sound Forge", commercial), but not be played back by ffmpeg.
