Stationary minidisc decks usually have optical out. What would you use on the computer side? I'd use Edirol UA-5, because I use it for stationary sound recording. But if you use Edirol UA-5 (or Mbox or whatever in this class), I think it's fine to transfer recordings from minidiscs through its analog inputs, because the quality is good enough.
When you digitally copy sound from a minidisc, you can't copy it back digitally to a minidisc, because of protection measures (like those of DVDs).
Another OT question: are you sure that you don't hear any sound corruption because of the minidisc compression? I'm just curious how detectable is the effect of this comression.

My problem is that I have recorded several pieces (of various authors,
but played by me... using MusiXTeX to make the score :-)) on
"minidiscs". The quality is pretty good since I use a high quality
microphone.
But minidiscs are not pratical for listening since one has to dispose of
the reader and connect it to a HiFi device.
Therefore, I'm interresting in converting my minidiscs to Audio CDROMs
(classic CDROMs). And my question:
Has on of you musicians an experience of transporting scores (i;e.
tracks) of a minidisc to an Audio cerom (using an engraver like Nero on
my PC) without any digital/analogic conversion, i.e. not using the sound
input of the PC, but reading the minidisc (either by a reader connected
to the PC, or by and USB ouput of a minidisc reader), and transferring
the USB input on the PC to CDROM engraver?
If the answer is YES or non empty, please continue discussion directly
to me, in order not to overload the lis with off-topic discussions.
