[linux-minidisc] Project status

[Enrique Medina Gremaldos <quiqueiii@gmail.com>]

Hi, I have been offline from minidisc news a couple of years. Now I have seen a small revival (Did I miss something important?) with minidiscday and reddit threads. So.. I decided to take a look at current project status.

Netmd is unable to download SP tracks yet. I did some PR back in the day triying to fix it but I havent had time to complete (mainly because I am not a usb guru). It seems there is an incoming PR from vueri that looks promising. 

I find this project critical for minidisc fans, because is the only open, portable and maintained software nowadays.

Sorry for the chat, lets go faster with direct questions.

- Is this list the only communication mechanism the project have?

- What is currently blocking netmd to download wav/pcm tracks?

- Back in the day, there was no way to encode a song with ATRAC using free software. Have this changed?

Cheers,
