Thank you!

I found this workflow: https://www.minidisc.wiki/guides/md-to-pc It is a little dated. Maybe there is a more simple way to do it?

Hello, BearBoy, thanks for your message. Yes, the MZ-R50 is my only MD device. I tried a 3.5mm cable and used line out. I'm not sure, if "Volume" had an influence. Ripping my MDs, that's what I tried to do. For some reason, it has worked for 2 or 3 MDs, later I could watch the graphic signals, but I could not copy th erecording. Perhaps you have some recipe of the workflow for a dummie in electronics ... Best wishes from Vienna Vienna snitzel

Hello folks, before upgrading my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11, I thought , it's a good idea to save my recordings from around 2020 to the PC. They are own recording for private use from trips to various Pacific Islands, public shows. So no rights should be infringed, if such an issue matters. . In managed to copy a few records to the PC, but then the audio stream was not recognized anymore. From a listing, I learned, that MZ-R50 - mine is # 1036711 - has ATRAC 4.0, Chip CXD - 2652AR. Plese check, if it is correct. I am still not sure, if it produces analog or digital data. There is no USB socket, just line in optical, line out is a 3,5 mm stereo plug. How can I make the PC fit for recording. My first attempts using Audacity were successful, but the setting looked not particularly reliable. What's the way to do it properly? Is a a/d converter required? I found some discussions about the reliability of Audacity, all quite dated. Hopefully, this community is still alive... Best wishes, Vienna snitzel, Vienna, Austria
