Exclamation

Looking to buy a minidisc player that will allow me to connect it to a PC and copy the contents FROM the player to the PC into a WAV or MP3 format.

I own the copyright to the material and it was recorded from a PA system.

Will I fall foul of the copy protection that supposedly prevents the file being played on a different machine and only for a certain number of plays..

Ideally I want a player that will allow me to do this, without all the faffing around with sampling it. Any suggestions on a player?

Avoid any software that uses OpenMG.

There is a cable that allows digital download of files to your PC from Minidisc. Try a search, it was about 6 months ago I think.

OpenMG is a b1tch
