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! |

QUOTE (jayzen @ Jul 6 2004, 05:13) 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. With a line out only you are limited to a line signal, and if a G4 doesn't have an input the cheapest option is Griffin's iMic USB interface. This is fine if quality is not important. If the minidisc is a more upmarket model it will probably have an optical out. On a Mac it's then possible to use a USB interface with optical in (eg Firewire 410 from M-Audio) to import full quality audio. That's what I do |
