Greta,
As far as I know, transferring MD-recordings to PC is difficult and in most
cases you simply have to record the audio again, line in to the PC and record
in real time on the PC. This has worked well for my, but is not very
convenient. Seemingly, there are some improvements in the newer MD:s that can
transfer wav-files to the PC, but I have no experience with this. This
problem is one of the major drawbacks for MD:s as I see it.
If there is anyone that knows a workaround for this, I for one would be
interested, but that would also mean a workaround on Sony's policy on not
supporting unauthorized coping of music.....
