Hi there, new member here interested in your recently resurrected topic on minidisc compatibility with PC. I have 3 Sony MD players/recorders, one portable and two separates. I have amassed a collection of over 400 minidisc albums that are running the risk of ending up like my old unlabelled cassette collection if I don't transfer them to my PC where I have no programs specifically designed to manage MD files. I understand that with an optical cable [I have a few different ones] I should be able to backup my music files from MD to PC and maybe later open them in SoundForge or similar Sony player. Ideally I'd like to convert tracks to mp3 or mp4 and add them to iTunes without finding the original vinyl or CDs and doing it all over again. Also similar solution required to transfer music files from DAT to PC. If I don't get any satisfactory reply here I might open a new discussion in a few days re: DAT to PC. ...thanks guys!
