The best solution I have found for MD to Mac (and then CD i guess) is an Aussie made product called the Xitel MD Port I/O. Connects to the USB port and to the MD via the Optical line in/out.
Take a look:

note that while officially Mac OS X is not supported, it *will* work. I'd recommend going to the page below and printing it out - it describes how mac users have got it working.

I gather he's transferring this way because he doesn't have the original CDs or Mp3s anymore(or are they his own MD recordings?) ? He needs to buy an iPod! MD is dead, and even Sony knows it. They're scrambling to make a HD based player as we speak.

Oh, and did anybody else notice that the Sony Central store in Perth stocks iPods! Need I say more?

Hey all,

I have a friend wanting to transfer some minidisc recordings onto CD.

What's the best way to accomplish this in OS X?  He has a 15" TiBook,
but has access to other Macs if necessary.

Cheers!
