jeannekelly Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi, I am new to this and not nearly techy enough... I have a Kenwood DMC-K7R(L) and would like to transfer my minidiscs to my computer or a cd somehow. I have a MacBook running OS 10.5.7. I will buy a cable but am not willing to buy a new piece of equipment (RH1 seems to be mentioned a lot out there) to achieve this goal. I have itunes and garage band. I will download additional software if necessary but will not spend a huge amount of dollars on it.I am desperate for guidance! Am I completely out of luck without buying new equipment?Just thinking of alternatives here... maybe there is a service that will do the transfer for me? Or would anyone out there who has the transfer system down like to make a few bucks?Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer!

Strungup Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 First ,........do NOT mutipost the same thing all across different threads. Uncool Secondly , The DMC-K7 ( I have a similar machine in my stash ) is an SP mode only Machine . It isnt made to interface with a Computer . Period So , Your ONLY option , is to download Audacity , or Final Vinyl , both are free . and use a 1/8 Stereo ----> 1/8 stereo cable , Male plug on both ends Use the Headphone out on the Kenwood , plug into the Line input on your Mac . Go into Sound settings , and set your input for Line instead of Mic ( usually Mic is default on all Mac Laptops with Mics on them . Play the MD , Record into the Software " Real Time " That IS the only option . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a life saver! My next step will be to burn them but one step at a time. Again, I can't thank you enough for your guidance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
