Having trouble with sony MD player coneccting to imac...

[John_G]

I am having trouble conecting my new Sony MZ-N505 mini-disc player to my imac. When I plug in the USB cord a message pops up saying "Drivers needed for USB device "Net MD walkman"are not available. Would you like to look for these drivers on the internet?" so I click yes then it freezes everytime. I do have the software that came with it but when I put the cd in it doesn't load the installation process like it does on my Pentium (which doesn't have internet so I cant use it.) What should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That device is not compatible with a Mac.

Looking at the download page for Sony software, they offer no Mac driver for it.

So does that mean there is no way I could hook it up to my mac?

You need one of these:

And some audio capture software such as:
