Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
how can one send mp3s via the USB cable? i use a program that came with it called SonicStage.. whenever i transfer an MP3 i get a message related to copyright
You can check out the MiniDisc gurus over at the MD T-Board. You should probably search there before you post the question though, they get kinda picky about topics being repeated over and over again.
Unfortunately, I do not use MP3s or have SonicStage, I only record via Optical-In transfers.
