Thanks so much for your help-- I guess my main concern was that there might be some incompatibility between the players even though it appears that they came out the same year. May I ask another question? Am I understanding correctly that I should be able to upload tracks to my Mac from the Sony MDS-S39 via USB (using the M-Audio Transit device which converts the optical signal to USB)? Or are you saying that USB transfers don't work at all on the Mac, not matter what MD format? Thanks again!

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone out there can tell me if I'll be able to play live recordings made by a portable Sony MZ-R55 on a Sony MDS-S39 (a home deck which I'm considering purchasing used on Ebay at the moment). I would like to use the optical out on the MDS-S39 to move the tracks into my eMac for editing and archiving. FYI, I have an M-Audio Transit device that will convert the optical signal into USB for computer input. Or, might I be better advised to invest in a portable player that has native USB output? Any help is greatly appreciated! Fort Worth, Texas
