I have a need to make original recordings and store them in MP3. I need my equipment to be portable and small. I have a large library of minidisk recordings and I want to continue with that format if possible.
The new Sony Minidisk recorders seem very appropriate EXCEPT * no Macintosh software * even the PC software won't let me import my original recordings to the computer (something to do with copyright protection schemes) So. What are people using? Thanks, Maggie Hettinger |

I personally own a Sony Minidisc recorder ( a deck ) First off, your best bet is www.minidisc.org Ask someone in their forums... I know of a few laptops with built-in minidisc drives, but I don't know where you would buy an external one..the website should know. What I did was have a friend drop it into Cubase... I don't know much about plugging in to a computer, but my mindisk deck has a digital optical in/out, so I would need to get a digital in to coxial converter, and go from there... what computer are you using? this has a lot to do with it.. and also what platform you're using.. hope I helped a little!! -------------------- "history repeats itself, so the best thing to do is rewrite the future"
