64 bit driver for Sony NetMD (Net MD) and standard MiniDisc for 64 bit versions of Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista

A standard MiniDisc by Sony, a
handy little robust audio medium

If you are running a 64 bit version (x64) of Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 64 bit or Windows Vista and you want to transfer music from your computer to your NetMD device but you can't connect your MiniDisc than the device has become useless.

Don't panic. We can fix it! All you have to do is download the 64 bit NetMD driver and follow the tutorial below.

But first, some explanation why your NetMD device doesn't work...
The problem is that there is no 64bit driver available for the USB connection between your NetMD and your computer running Windows 64 bit.

Windows 7 Pro users can switch to XP mode but that's not the shortest way to use your NetMD. Windows 7 premium users can't even switch their system in to XP mode. So that's very sad for all these MiniDisc lovers among us. Yes many people still love the excellent audio quality of MiniDisc's and the ease of use of it. Yes MiniDisc's are a thing from the past (from around the millennium) but where very popular and so, just like the Audio Cassette, they are still used by many.

If you love your MiniDiscs and you can't connect your PC to it, well than you have a major problem.
HiMD seems to have no problem connecting to a 64 bit PC, at least if you use the HiMD mode. If you want to transfer music in early standards like MD and NetMD it needs 32 bit (x86) support on your 64 bit system.

There was no supported driver for 64 bit systems for so far ...
... UNTIL NOW!

Yes we can resolve all these problems. We have the solution for these problem. A 64 Bit driver for the NetMD standard!

Just follow these steps to get your MiniDisc back to work under a Windows 64 bit system:

1. Make sure you installed Sonic Stage 4.3 on your Windows 64 bit system.
2. Download the NetMD USB-Driver for Windows 7 (64 bit) or Vista (64 bit).
    If none of these drivers work for you, please try Sony's Personal Audio Driver.
3. Unpack the zip-file with the drivers to a folder .
    You can do this with programs like: WinZIP or WinRAR or 7zip or even the Windows Explorer.
4. Go to the Device Management section on your computer.
5. Go to Universal USB, Right click on NetMD (flagged with a red) and update drivers.
6. Browse my computer for driver software.
7. Go to the unpacked folder where you unpacked the ZIP-file.
8. Follow the rest of the procedure.
9. Restart your computer.
10. If you now open Sonic Stage 4.3, after restarting your computer, you will see that you are now can make a connection with your NetMD.

Problem Fixed with this NetMD (Net MD) driver for Windows 7 64 bit!

This works for Sony NetMD players and Sony HiMD players.

Windows 7 pro 64 bit users don't need to go in XP mode to get their NetMD to work.

Supported Operation Systems to run the NetMD driver on:
Windows Vista 64 bit
Windows 7 64 bit
Windows 8 64 bit
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Windows 10 64 bit

If you still have problems for some MiniDisc products you're welcome to write a comment, we will answer as soon as possible.

To Edward: Did you see a red '!' next to the NetMD in the Universal Serial Bus-controllers section?
Did you search the directory 'NETMD760' in to the unzipped directory 'x-APPLICATION NetMD Driver'?

Edward said...

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply! The Minidisc recorder shows up under "Other Devices" in the device manager with an explantion point/yellow triangle. Device status states "The drivers for this device are not installed". Directing the update driver button to the unzipped NETMD760 folder, it says there is no driver that matches the device. Nothing shows up under Univeral Serial Bus controllers section. I have tried updating the driver for both my MZ-N707 and MZ-N510 with no luck.

ArchiVision said...

To Edward: I made a beta version for the MZ-N707. I am not shore it will work but give it a try. Please let me know if it worked. You can download it from this page: NetMD drivers download table for Windows 7 64 bit

Edward said...

Thanks for working with me and for directing me to the beta version. I downloaded and attempted to maunally update the driver as before, but it still says there is not drivers compatible with the device. Is there a way to force a driver to install? Thanks so much for the help so far!!

ArchiVision said...

To Edward: I'm sorry but I think we have to wait until there is a better driver for it. I only edited the NetMD760 driver by changing the text NetMD760 to MZ-N707. It was worth to give it a try but apparently this doesn't resolve the problem. And you just can't force a driver because it has to be exact to be running well. I'm very sorry.

ArchiVision said...

Maybe you can try a tool like DRIVERS For Free to search for a beta driver for your MiniDisc. It also searches for drivers on your computer that can be updated.

ED said...

I have the MZ-NF610 it does the same thing -- running win 7 home premium -- no drivers found using 707 or 760 --- Bummer for the ole school Mini Disc lovers :(

ArchiVision said...

I think that Sony has to come with a good solution for this problem. It's said that there is now 64 bit driver available for every MiniDisc, because more and more people are running Windows 7 64 bit on their computers.

Wow it works! Now I can playing, recording, edting MDs with my Sony MDS-NT1 on Windows 7 64 bit, using NETMD760 driver. It's a bit old model so I had to play it on the XP Mode but now I don't have to. Thank you very much.

Anonymous said...

Formerly I have to install the XP-mode on my 64-bit machine in order to detect my Sony MZ-M200. I hate that solution as it significantly increases Windows boot time. Now your new driver works like a charm. Thank you so much!

Awesome! I love my MZ-S1, and recently rediscovered it! It works so much better for running with than an ipod, since it was ergonimically designed for running (quite costly back in its day), it still works like a charm, after going through a TON of abuse. Thanks so much for this!

ArchiVision said...

Go to step 2: follow the link where you can download the "NetMD MZ-RH1 and later (HiMD)- driver" by clicking it. You can see that it supports the MZ-NE410, follow the rest of the procecedure from step 3 to 9. Please confirm me if it's worked.

Anonymous said...

ArchiVision: It worked! Thanks so very much! Although, when I transfer songs to the player, it's only loading/recording 2 songs? The disc space is bigger than that but it won't let me transfer any more than 2 songs worth.

Any thoughts on that?

Not trying to be greedy here, just thought you might know.

ArchiVision said...

Maybe the disc space is full because you have songs in a different format (SP-mode) like the oldest MiniDisc's has. Maybe your Transfer Settings has a to big Bit rate, to change this: Go to tools / options / transfer / transfermode / choose Net-MD or Hi-MD and click on Transfer Settings than specify the Bit rate to an ATRAC3 format so now you can load more songs on to your MD. If none of this work. Try to format your MD to a blanc Hi-MD or Net-MD on your MiniDisc device.

Net MD Walkman MZ-S1
The Minidisc recorder shows up under "Other Devices" in the device manager with an explantion point/yellow triangle. Device status states "The drivers for this device are not installed." I browsed for Personal Audio Driver Folder. Clicked Next. "Windows could not find driver software for this device."

Just posted a comment re MZ-S1. Got Sonic to recognize the device. My disc is write-protected. Error code 0000664f. I even taped the tab in the open position. It says write protected in both positions.

I would never thought that my old MDS-NT1 could still be supported on Win 7 64 bits!

Pleased to say that although neither were listed in your drivers I was able to first get it to work with my MZ-N510, and then when I plugged in my MZ-NF810 Windows 7 searched online and found a driver for that (which had failed before I tried this driver).

Brilliant job, many thanks.

I have just used your drivers and they work up to a point. I can play the tracks on the portable md but no sound comes out of the computer. I am deligted that my md is being recognised and the tracks on the mds are visible and I am eternally gratefull for your effort. I love my MDs and will continue loving them till the last unit dies. I have plenty of backup units so I think I will be listening for some time to come. I am sick of windows domination of the software market and every release of windows brings nothing but grief. Microsoft sucks.

Hey. Problems to get SONY MDS-NT1 working with Windows10 64bit. Any solution?

Unknown said...

MZ-N710 works great. Good job! thx

Unknown said...

For everybody who can not install the net-driver under Windows 10: here is the solution:
The driver won't install because windows 10 has a different system for driver signature verification. Here is what you have to do:
1 Click on START en select Settings
2 Click on Update and Security
3 Click on Systemrepair
4 Click on Restart under the Advanced Startup options
5 Click on Solve Problems
6 Click on Advanced Options
7 Click on Startup Settings
8 Click on Restart
9 In the screen with the different options choose 7 of F7 to switch off the driver signature
Your computer will restart and now you are able to install the driver.
At the next restart what you did at step 9 is then turned back.

Attention:
I did this on my Dutch Windows 10 version so I am not sure whether the menu-descriptions 1 till 9 are exactly as they appear on your screen but anyway it worked and I can transfer files to my SonyMZ-N707 using Sonicstage
Probably this will work under Windows 8.1 as well but I couldn't test this.
Lots of success.

Chris Locke said...

Hennie Eerhart- Many thanks for your instructions. Helped me out!

Armour-Dillo said...

Hennie Eerhart, you are a beaut !

Now everything works on my N710, can write and transfer from PC to MD.

Found another way of turning off driver signature quickly.

Right click START
Select Command Prompt(admin)
Write or copy/paste....... bcdedit /set testsigning on and press enter.
You should get a result of "The operation completed successfully."
Restart your computer, then only difference you'll see is a little message bottom right saying Test Mode Windows 10 build 10586 or similar number.
You can undo this change with........ bcdedit /set testsigning off when you have finished installing the drivers to get back to secure driver signatures.

Many thanks all, I was really worried that was it for my MD. And up yours Sony you bunch of gits.

Make sure you get the latest version of the sonicstage 4.3 software, they made a few versions of 4.3 plus a security update also. Some Sony websites from other counties still have this for download officially.

Isn't it true that your driver is unsigned and therefore will be removed by windows 10 64 bit on every function update? I am so happy for my MZ RH1, please see to it that I don't have to go back to win 7 ...

Once the computer restarts using Advanced Boot as described above, you goto the "Device Management" section on your computer, it lists all your components, look for The Minidisc recorder under "Other Devices" (or USB) in the device manager it is highlighted with an 'explanation point'/'yellow triangle'.
Right click on this... and then select 'Browse my computer for driver software'.
Go to the unpacked folder where you unpacked the NetMD USB-Drivers ZIP-file.
Follow the rest of the procedure.
Restart your computer.
And then launch SonicStage and you can use your MiniDisc!!!

I followed the last post, just make sure to disable driver signature.
I was able to transfer mp3 files to my Sony MZ-N510.
Thank you.

Any chance you'll be adding the MZ-NF520D to the supported MD players?

worked great with my MZ-RH1 and win 10. Only issue I do not get the dates that the original files were recorded. Any ideas on that?

Drivers didn't work with my Aiwa AM-NX9. Also can't find this model on Sony website. Anyone found it?

I receive an error when selecting the NETMDRH1.inf driver to be installed on a Windows 11 operating system that says "The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering". As a redult, Windows encountered a problem installing the Net MD drivers. Can anyone assist?
