linux-minidisc's Issues

Write does not seem to complete correctly

When writing a track, it appears to not finalize the write properly. My NetMD device seems to be waiting for something else from the host that isn't sent.

Everything seems to work up until New Track: 0, at which point my device flashes Edit, and the applications seems to halt. After several seconds, netmdcliresponds with the rest of the log above, and the device is stuck in write mode with Edit on the display. In some cases, if I kill power to the device the track appears to be written and can play but might be corrupt leading to problems with reading when re-staring the device (the longer the device is powerd up, the longer it takes for the device to read the disk when it re-starts) It seems like the device just continues writing garbage after netmdcli kills the connection.

If I do manage to successfully write a single track, I can't seem to write subsequent tracks at any point after without erasing the disk.

Device is a MZ-N420D for what it's worth.

Transfer ATRAC1 in .aea container format

Can there be support for https://github.com/dcherednik/atracdenc

So that we can transfer the encoded .aea files (ATRAC1) to Minidisc devices?

netmdcli commands dont seem permanent.

I've been playing a bit with netmdcli but none of my command seems to be 'permanent', even if the -v flag indicates something might be happening. For instance, I'm trying to wipe an MD in order to move some new files onto it:

I hope it is clear what I mean. I first tried the netmdcli command as provided by the Ubuntu 18.04 repo, and then I compiled your fork and tried with that. I also tried as super user. Any idea?

netmdcli [abort] message

Thanks for all the work maintaining this package! I'm creating a GUI which is fairly complete now, but I'm having an issue with the tracklisting of netmdcli aborting with SIGABRT.

[1]    69862 abort      ./netmdcli

Running on MacOS Mojave. Every other netmdcli command seems to work fine.
Any ideas or help you could give me would be awesome.

Suddenly error connecting to device

After a day fiddling and recording a few disks, a few hours ago I kept consistently getting the following error when trying to use the netmdcli command:

$ ~/sync/code/linux-minidisc/netmdcli/netmdcli -v -t
Error opening netmd
Error while opening the USB device

On the MD unit the normal PC->MD message appears, but no command results in any other message, whereas a few hours ago that was no problem. I rebooted a few times, changed disks, turn the MD unit off and on, replugged many times, always the same result. I even left it off for an hour or so.

Is there possibly any state on the computer that interferes? Did I fry the unit?

Building on Ubuntu 18.04

Had to do a few things extra; perhaps the README needs to be updated?
