I bought a minidisc recorder/player a year or two ago thinking it would be a nice little music tool to have around. As far as playing music went, I ended up hating it and it just sat around my desk waiting to be sent off to ebay.
But....I think I found a new use for it. I purchased the small sony stereo condenser mic (i don't remeber the product name) for recording family stories since some older members are fading and for recording language classes at school. I'm using the Sony MZ-N707 recorder.
I've found it a real pain in the butt to get my recordings into the computer easily. So my first question is this.
Is there an EASY way to get recordings into the computer w/o a bunch of software.

Does anyone know off the top of their head any software for linux that will function like soundforge?
Thank you very much, any answers are appreciated.
