tbone Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I own about 200 minidiscs that I would like to copy to computer or CD format. I have a Sony portable player and a Sony CD/MD combo stereo. The portable player has an optical IN port and my computer has an optical OUT port. But I want to go in the opposite direction... from portable to computer. Is there a way I can do this digitally? If not, are there any professional services that would be able to do this for me? Or, do I have to do everything analog? However, I honestly don't even know how to do that.Help??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 You are basically stuck with analog from the MDs to your PC in realtime. If the MDs were made via analog or microphone originally you could use a deck with optical output to record on to the PC, but that would be in real time as well.

bug80 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Does your MD deck have an optical out? I understand that your soundcard doesn't have an optical in? In that case I would search for a soundcard with optical in and use your deck to copy the MD's digitally in real time, instead of using your portable. In that case you're sure you don't get quality loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
