How to Upload to a Mini Disc

The MiniDisc is a digital audio player from Sony. The player used miniature disc cartridges to hold the music, and music could be written and re-written to the mini discs using a computer. One of the benefits of the MiniDisc platform was that each disc could hold a few hours of music. The platform was eventually out-shined by Apple's iPod media player. In order to transfer music to the device, you needed to use Sony's SonicStage software application.
