Loading Audio from mini disc onto wave pad

[kittym]

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.

WOW!!!! Another minidisc fan......

 

As you know, minidisc is a proprietary format, so the files can only be read by sony software.

 

BUT, you can play the minidisc into mp3 recording software of your choice.

 

you may wish to use some different interfaces out there made for this.

[ I prefer the M_Audio Transit unit ]

 

Audio software is so vast, you're gonna have to do that one on your own. Here's some freeware;

If you're planning on recording in WAV, I hope you have a large HDD.

 

I hope that helps
