For insight into why Sony hasn't and may never equip MD with fast upload

"What's changed since the original Walkman debuted is that Sony became the
only conglomerate to be in both consumer electronics and entertainment. As a
result, it's conflicted: Sony's electronics side needs to let customers move
files around effortlessly, but its entertainment side wants to build in
restraints, because it sees every customer as a potential thief."

Dear Mah
This sounds very interesting. Is it possible to upload from Minidisc to
computer (info talks about downloading only) and what is the sound
quality like with recording from a microphone. If it is possible to
upload onto a PC without re-recording in real time and the recording
quality is as good as with a standard MD recorder, this will be a
tremendous breakthrough. After many "false dawns" in this area I am a
little unsure......
Best wishes
