Just to make it clear (you didn't mention if you did), you need to plug the 
minidisk analog output into some sound card input for this to work. It uses 
USB only for remote controling the minidisk. I didn't try harder because my 
model doesn't support USB transfer from minidisk to host anyway.

I guess the traceback you got probably ends up in readReply method, and the 
exception is not the bare NotImplemented python exception but rather 
NetMDNotImplemented. If so, it means your model doesn't support digital 
transfer (or in a way different from the few model who does, but that sounds 
unlikely). That exception is just the pythonic translation from an error 
status code received from the minidisc player.

AFAIK, the python code is currently bit-rotting. It was a way to quickly 
experiment with the upload protocol as it was understood (...not by me, I just 
implemented what was already documented - most of libnetmd, lsmd, mdctl and 
dump_md). The functions are/have been/will be implemented in a non-python 
program for easier installation (especially on windows, where python is not 
commonly available).
