You can not change the codec on the minidisc. While you are able to send
a command to the NetMD device that tells the recorder that you are going
to send uncompressed PCM and want to write a LP2/LP4 track, that command
gets rejected. The only valid combinations are
PCM -> SP
LP2 -> LP2
LP4 -> LP4
I don't remember whether PCM -> SP Mono support is consistently
implemented in all NetMD devices.

If you would like to have LP2 or LP4 on the disc, you need to encode it
before downloading.
