The new Sony machines (MXD-D5C, MDS-JB940, -JB640, -S50 and CMT-PX3,5,&7) all support the new PCLK-MD10 USB based PC connection kit. This provides MD unit control as well as a digital audio link over USB. I've heard that you can even do Scale Factor Edit operations from the PC. Sony is getting there. The next step must surely be high speed (~4X) transfer from PC. At that point MD will be pretty close to MP3 in terms of download convenience, and still way ahead of it in terms of audio quality, media cost, field recordability, archival storage, home docking station equipment requirements, desirability, coolness, fruit fashion colors...
