Md Onto Mac Options

[GeoffG]

I'm a novice at this and hope my quesiton hasn't already been answered.

My wife has tons of dance stuff on minidisc and now wants to get it onto the Mac (running 10.4.3) so she can burn CDs. The problem is that her MD player doesn't have a line out. I have a Griffin iMic and was wondering whether it is possible to use the MD player headphones socket with a 2 x 3.5mm cable. If so, which socket on the iMic would I use? One has a microphone symbol, the other a loudspeaker.

For capture and editing I have previously used Peak LE3 with LPs and tapes and that seemed to work fine. Will this work with MD as source? I think I will have to get a new version (LE5 is advertised) to run with OSX.

Thanks for help.

Geoff.

Hi Geoff, don't give up on trying - because MD ist the best way to get your LPs and Singles into a digital form.
My Way to get the full sound:
- recording LPs on a SONY MDS JE510 (in Ebay about 30 bucks)
(The Sony digital modifier does real great work - you never heard your LPs sounding like that!)
- then connecting the Sony via Optical Cable into the G5 to get a copy without loss of quality (If you don't have a G5 you shall plug in via Line In)
- for editing I use Toasts "Spin Doctor"
