    How do i record a minidisc onto my computer?

    i want to transfer some minidiscs onto my Ipod, anybody got any ideas what program i need? Ive tried sound recorder but it only seems to record 60 seconds. I dont have a net md, i am plugging the audio lead into the microphone input on my laptop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    You could try using Microsoft Movie Maker (comes bundled with XP usually). Have a look under accesories on the start menu.

    But the sound quality is atrocious. I tried to do something similar when I recorded from my Xbox onto the Laptop via the microphone, and some cables from the stereo output on the scart box.

    I got an unbearable amount of noise. You might get the same thing when recording through the microphone. I doubt you have a line in though (neither do I )

    Sound recorder will record for longer after 60s, but you have to press record every time it hits 60s.

    Microsoft's aspirations to turn the P.C. into a media centre haven't been very well thought through.

    I can record the audio from a DVD playing on my Xbox to a Mindisc, but I can't do the same with a Laptop and an Xbox.

    Crazy.

      I've been using eJay Music Cleaning Studio to transfer some of my old man's tapes to CD. (Bought it from PC World a while ago for ?20).

      Been transferring the tapes to a MiniDisc via my hi-fi, then transferring the MDs to my PC via Music Cleaning Studio track-by-track, then polishing them up to reduce hiss, expand the dynamics etc. Just using the Line-In ports on my soundcard. The Studio software lets you save the tracks either as they are, or in polished form as Wave files for transfer to CD. I just use a bit of freeware to change the Wave files to MP3s for easy storage on my PC
