Newbie here, please forgive if my question does not belong.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to transfer mini disc audio onto my G4?
USB2, firewire 400, 800, Mac OS X(10.3.4), 1 gig ram, 1.25 ghz, infinite hard drive space.

It looks like I need a USB on one end and an RCA mini on the other. There is also a port on the mini recorder labelled "optical."

Thank you!

The simple answer to this is "Sorry, no". Sony refuses to make a Mac compatible software, and their magicgate protection is seemingly impossible to crack, which is the problem for open source solutions such as XMD above, which incidentally, was trying to transfer stuff via USB, but they appear to have given up. Someone - pete bentley I thnk - did manage to create an control program so you could control the minidisc via a software panel on OS X, but that's all so far)

So, in short, no. MiniDiscs for Mac users are just minidiscs. So, if like me you spent a lot of money on a top model, most of its functions are useless.

You could try using Virtul PC to run the Sony PC software, but I seem to remember that that doesn't work either. I've not tried that though.
