Sony (finally!) garners their Hi-MD customers' votes: Clay reports that Sony has released their Wav Conversion Tool that converts uploaded Hi-MD recordings into Windows ".wav" format audio files. From there they may be easily converted to MP3 or burned to CD.

The WAV Conversion Tool is software designed to convert OpenMG™ Audio format files to PCM WAV files. Specifically, this tool is only for OpenMG Audio format files that have been recorded through the MIC or LINE-IN (analog) input from a Hi-MD™ Walkman® device and uploaded to SonicStage® software. Convertible tracks recorded through a Hi-MD device can be converted to WAV format files using the WAV Conversion Tool
