Hello I have just downloaded wavepad and I want to use it to download audio i record on my minidisc recorder. I am trying to work out how to do this - does anyone know step by step what i have to do. Im assuming to start with im going to have to buy a lead to connect the mini disc recorder to the computer and then open a window in wave pad to download the audio into a wavepad file. so far i can only see one to download cd stuff. Im sure you realize from reading this that I am not very techie - for a start would anyone know what I would call the lead I need when I go into the shop to buy it? Any help is really received with thanks. Kitty
