MZ-R900 and copying to a CD

[GTF]

Well, this isn't exactly a "record" question...it's more of a playback/copy to a CD question. I have a MZ-R900 and bought it primarily to record music using a microphone, which it does.

What I want to do is copy the minidisk data to my PC and then burn a CD. PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS POSSIBLE. If not, please tell me the "work around".

Thanks much!

I deleted the other two threads you created and the response to the MZ-R900 thread you also made, simply because we don't need the same question here over and over. Alot of this information was available already, I recommend you utilize the search feature next time.

Anyway, what you need is an analog male-to-male stereo cable [easily available at your local electronics store], and you can hook one end to your headphone out and the other end to your microphone in on your computer. Then you would utilize a program like this to make the transfer a little bit easier:

Obviously, the transfers would be 1:1.

You could also go down the deck route. By purchasing a deck with a digital out, you would have a pure digital upload to your computer granted you had a soundcard with a digital in. An average Minidisc deck and soundcard with optical in would run you around $150ish.

Hope this helps.

WinNetMD won't work with the R900, only with NetMDs.

Just get a basic real-time recording program, like the free Audacity.

You're recording the MD in real time onto your hard drive, and then you can edit it into separate tracks with Audacity. There's no quick upload function until Hi-MD arrives.

...and even then, you'll only be able to do the quick upload on recordings made on Hi-MD equipment. Your old recordings will still need to be transferred in realtime.
