Transfer music to the Sony MZ-N505 using Platinum MD on Windows 10

Since there are no official x64 drivers for the Sony MZ-N505 for Windows 10, the installation of the drivers require some different steps. These steps might also work for Windows 11, but I have not tested this myself.

What you need:

• Sony MZ-N505 (or similair)
• Minidisc disc
• Mini USB cable
• Computer with Windows 10 installed
• Zadig
• Platinum MD
• Some of your favourite music in mp3 format

What you do:

1. Connect the Sony MZ-N505 to the computer using a USB Mini cable.
2. Download Zadig and run the executable.
3. Make sure Net MD Walkman is selected
4. Install the WinUSB driver.
5. Download and install Platinum MD next.

Platinum MD should now be able to detect the device and write music to the disc in it.
