[QUOTE="Rimmer, post: 979304, member: 44647"] Shame you didn't mention what Mac you're using :'( Most modern Mac's have a combo analogue/optical input. Many Minidisc players have an optical out. If yours does then you need to buy an optical lead to run from the Minidisc player to the Mac's input. If you go to the Apple symbol at the top left of your screen, select 'About This Mac', from the resulting window click on the 'More Info' button. Select AUDIO from the options on the next window. It should tell you if you have a COMBO line in. If so, then it's both optical and analogue (electrical). Go with the optical if you can but a standard minijack to minijack cable will do (albeit lesser quality). Run Quicktime player. Go to FILE -- > NEW AUDIO RECORDING. Select the input you want to record from (there is a little clickable triangle in Quicktime 10). Press Play on the MD machine then press record in Quicktime. You could then use something like Audacity for OSX to split up and save your tracks.. Regards. Rimmer [/QUOTE]
