About eight years ago I started recording digitally on to minidiscs. I stopped recording minidiscs about four years ago. Just recently I found my minidisc collection, which is over 500 discs in a storage bin I had in the garage. Don't get me wrong I loved/love minidiscs I just no longer had the time to keep up with my hobby. I had tried so many times to figure out how to transfer them digitally to a PC at high speed. Since I am so out of the loop now I would like to know if there is a player that can do that now, and how fast. Back when I was researching this (four years ago) it was not possible, it had to all be done in real time. I still have my Sony minidisc deck, which is really cool, because it was one of the few with and optical out, I would like to have my music on my computer though. Can anyone point me in the right direction and let me know of a portable player that will allow me to transfer to my PC at high speed via usb. It would be great to get all that content on a hard drive as appose to 500 discs. Thanks for the help.
