I used to, but I'd always end up recording them from MD to the computer anyway (so I could burn CDs etc). Then one day me and my minidisc player got caught in a rainstorm, and my days of portable digital music came to a moist and soggy end! The minidisc player is now completely senile - it is still alive, but can't do anything and the things it says make no sense.
Anyway, it was then that I rewired everything to my decks go through the PC, and now I can cut out the middle-man by recording straight onto hard drive.
