 Newbie here, please forgive if my question does not belong. Does anyone have suggestions on how to transfer mini disc audio onto my G4? USB2, firewire 400, 800, Mac OS X(10.3.4), 1 gig ram, 1.25 ghz, infinite hard drive space. It looks like I need a USB on one end and an RCA mini on the other. There is also a port on the mini recorder labelled "optical." Thank you! |

Its my understanding that with many miniDisc "walkman" style players, they specifically do not include a digital out to prevent piracy. I thought that you had to buy an MD deck to get it out digitally (for most).
My MD only has a headphone out (line level out). At first I was just connecting this out to the "sound in" on my Mac (stereo 1/8" to stereo 1/8"), but this was using the mac soundcard to convert the sound again, and that's not such a great idea. Now I am just going analog out from my MD to my breakout box (motu 828mkII with a good quality stereo cable with one 1/8" plug on one side and two 1/4" plugs on the other. The sound gets re-converted to digital, but it sounds a lot better than using the Mac sound card, and a lot less noise. This may not help you, but I don't know how to get out digitally from a player without using a deck - if anyone finds out I'd be pleased to know as well. -jason |
