A "stand alone" CDR device with a SPDIF input (aka digital)
and a MD player with SPDIF output will allow you to
copy a MD to CD and keep the track markings as well.
Bear in mind that the MD allows small track divisions (possibly
as low as 1 frame which is 1/80 of a second or something
like that) where a CD must have a minimum of 10 seconds in a track.
Therefore if your MD has many sub 10 second tracks - those will
get blended together as 1 track.
Depending on how often you are doing this you might get a studio to do
this for you or to get a "consumer grade" CDR device (typically in the
$600 range). There are issues with the SCMS protection codes
which may limit future duplication of the CD. These are
NOT settable on consumer devices but usually can be configured
on pro type CDR devices. Pro level machines also readily
use the cheaper computer CD blanks rather than the more
expensive "consumer CDR" blanks. Pro CDR machines are
in the $800+ range.
I do this all the time as I make my "mix" CDs on MD first where
I can easily edit stuff and then copy it down to CDR for use
int he car or at firnds houses etc.

Does anyone know of any hardware/software which would allow someone to
take audio recorded on minidisc and transfer it over to a CD writer
and still maintain the track marks. I am doing some work for my local
church and we are in the process of using minidisc to master our church
services and then write them down to a CD master for duplication and a
cassette tape for duplication. I would like to find some other way
than re-recording from MD to CD writer for each track. Any help would be
appreciated.
