This is a port to TypeScript of the linux-minidisc project.
It works either in node and every browser supporting the WebUSB standard.
npm install netmd-js -g
npm install
npm run build
There's a minimal CLI called netmdcli
that I've written for testing, but the primary purpose of this library is to serve the Web MiniDisc project.
If you want to upload music to your device using the cli keep in mind that it won't parse your audio file container, but it works only with raw audio data.
ffmpeg will do the trick of extracting the raw data from your audio files for SP uploads. If you want to use LP2 or LP4 you'll also need atracdenc.
ffmpeg -i youraudiofile -f s16be rawaudiodata.raw # outputs raw audio data suitable for SP uploads
ffmpeg -i youraudiofile -ar 44100 youraudiofile.wav # 44100 16bit wav input file suitable for atracdenc
atracdenc -e atrac3 -i youraudiofile.wav -o youraudiofile.oma --bitrate 128
dd bs=96 skip=1 if=youraudiofile.oma of=rawaudiodata.raw # removes OMA file header
ffmpeg -i youraudiofile -ar 44100 youraudiofile.wav # 44100 16bit wav input file suitable for atracdenc
atracdenc -e atrac3 -i youraudiofile.wav -o youraudiofile.oma --bitrate 64
dd bs=96 skip=1 if=youraudiofile.oma of=rawaudiodata.raw # removes OMA file header
Then just run
netmdcli upload rawaudiodata.raw -f sp|lp2|lp4

This library has been made possible by the amazing work done from the linux-minidisc project.
