You can also use the Ubuntu PPAs on Debian [1]. Just use the ones we provide for Ubuntu Oneiric, they work fine on Wheezy. > crystalpalace:~/linux-minidisc/netmdcli# ./netmdcli > Net MD Walkman > Raw title: > Disc Title: <Untitled> > > Track 0: UnPROT LP2 - 04:19:47 - Hola > > --Empty Groups-- > > > But when I listen, it sounds like garbage. This is expected, NetMD Walkman do not support the playback of MP3 audio tracks and you will have to convert them. Generally, most if not all NetMD Walkman support ATRAC-SP, ATRAC-3 (LP2 and LP4) and PCM as input, the latter will be recoded by the Walkman into ATRAC-SP (I don't know whether the NetMD Walman also encodes LP2 and LP4 on-the-fly, but I guess Michael knows). As for netmdcli, the software currently does not check the format of the input files and just always assumes ATRAC-3 LP2 which is why your track listing above reads "LP2". So netmdcli needs to be fixed to properly recognize the input format and send the proper parameters to the NetMD Walkman. Since there are no known encoders for ATRAC-SP or ATRAC-3 LP2/LP4, any non-ATRAC files will have to be sent to the NetMD Walkman as PCM files where they are encoded as ATRAC-SP by the Walkman. Fixing netmdcli in this regard is the next point on our TODO list. If you know C, you can have a look at the code in netmdcli/netmdcli.c yourself and play around with the code.
