Thanks's for posting that Mark.  The wife has a Network Walkman which 
requires the god awful Sonic Stage software (which luckily still works 
in Windows 7 which is what the wife uses).  I've personally got a couple 
of Minidisc recorders (a NetMD model and a HiMD model).  I'm going to 
give it a try and see what happens (as they both use Sonic Stage).  I'll 
post back if they work or not.

I presume being a Java app it'll also work on Windows?

Ta,

Rob
