Off to a… spooky start.

Well, today I received my spiffy Sony MZ-RH1 minidisc recorder and player. It’s a fantastic little machine, very sexy and elegant. It does, however, require the SonicStage software from Sony. I did the full installation, and went to run it, and got this dialog.
I haven’t rebooted yet, but I’m just getting that little shiver of “Oh, this can’t bode well.”
I’ll file further reports as events warrant. But for the moment, I need to reboot. I’ll be back after start the computer.
Update – It rebooted fine, and the Sony software came up as expected. 20 minutes later I have a gig of data on the MD player, all sourced as MP3’s, loaded onto a disc without a problem, and without corruption. Whee!
