I'm a novice at this and hope my quesiton hasn't already been answered.
My wife has tons of dance stuff on minidisc and now wants to get it onto the Mac (running 10.4.3) so she can burn CDs. The problem is that her MD player doesn't have a line out. I have a Griffin iMic and was wondering whether it is possible to use the MD player headphones socket with a 2 x 3.5mm cable. If so, which socket on the iMic would I use? One has a microphone symbol, the other a loudspeaker. For capture and editing I have previously used Peak LE3 with LPs and tapes and that seemed to work fine. Will this work with MD as source? I think I will have to get a new version (LE5 is advertised) to run with OSX. Thanks for help. Geoff. |

Actually, the new MD players from Sony have Mac software that allows you to download the audio straight to your computer through USB (Hi-MD Wav Importer is the name of the software that comes with it). However, it's not backwards-compatible. You can't use the new software with the old MD players.
