How to upload from minidisc to Hello,
I'd like to upload some music
on minidiscs to a computer but
my player does not have the
usb connection. I've looked
around but I'm completely
clueless tech-wise and don't
know what to look for. I'm
looking for a minidisc player
that either comes with
software if needed or doesn't
need any.
I'd really appreciate your
help if you could recommend
something within $50-100.
Thanks a lot all.

I seem to remember Sony did make a PC-compatible, full-size home MD machine, but it was very rare because hardly anyone bought it as mp3s had already established themselves. I think some of the Sony Net MD walkmans could be plugged into PCs, though whether it was to transfer from PC to MD, rather than from MD to PC, I can't remember. Have a look here for more info: http://www.minidisc.org/index. php You can still take the analogue output from your existing MD player into the line input on your sound card. To do this, you'll need a cable with the normal hi-fi connectors at one end, and the small, walkman-style headphone connector at the other (this end goes into the line input on your PC's sound card). I think I'm right in saying MD decks don't have digital outputs, or there's some sort of copyright management system that prevents digital-to-digital copying. This was done in order to prevent digital piracy (could be wrong about this, though). Otherwise, if you had a sound card with a digital input (usually only to be found on pricier PC sound cards), you could hook up the digital output from an MD deck to the digital input on your sound card. |

How can I transfer a speech I I have recorded a spoken
message for a friend on to a
minidisc. I would like to
email the message to them, but
when I connect the minidisc
player to my pc and try to
save the file on to my pc, I
am told that "the track
originated from a different
computer and cannot be
transferred". I realise this
is in place to safeguard
copyright of music, but this
is my own track of me talking!
Is there any way around this?
Thank you.
Good answer thank you, but
maybe I should have said, my
pc is a laptop and has no
input jack...

Connect audio cable to the player. Instead of connecting it to speakers, connect it to the Line In jack on the back of your computer (you'll have three jacks: your computer's speakers are plugged in to one, one has a picture of a mic next to it, and the remaining one is Line In). Then you can simply play the minidisc and use any audio recording program -- such as Audacity, which you can download free from http://audacity.sourceforge.ne t/ -- to record it to a new audio file on your computer. Since it's all digital, there should be very little if any loss of quality. |
