Transfering MiniDisc Audio into Computer Medium

Hey guys, I need to know how to take a Sony MZ-NF610 walkman, (with an MD tape of course) and transfer the audio from the tape into my computer hard drive. On my computer I have audio editing software. The ultimate point of this is to make an audio CD from a MiniDisc tape using a computer (I don't have a stand-alone CD-R burner).

I tried to do this once myself by plugging a mini-USB to USB cable from the Walkman to the Computer. It recognized 'new hardware' and tried to install software but could not. I'm assuming I need a driver or some sort of file to go any further.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In short, you won't be able to upload digitally via USB with your unit. At present, there is only one unit that will upload those older recordings, the MZ-RH1.

The thread mentioned has info on getting your recordings to your computer via analog in realtime.

No offense dude , but MD isnt TAPE its a Magneto Optical Disc your referering to it as tape might not be a good idea eh !

It is a disc . DAT is tape( good tape , but still tape) MD Disc

Headphone out to line in on the computer , Record real time each track , Then make your CD
