[LUG] MiniDisc players...

 


I know nothing about Minidisc technology, however I've a feeling it's going out of fashion...

... and I had a friend who has hours and hours of recordings/interviews, etc. all stored on miniDisc technology.

So short of connecting the headphone out to line in on a PC and running audacity, I presume/hope there is a way to get the digital data directly off the discs - but having never even touched one, I'm in the dark regarding their capabilities.

Do they come with USB interfaces, or some other digital connection?

My friend is a bit clueless too, although I'm going to try to catch up with her in a week or so's time to have a look at the hardware she has, but it would be good to have a bit of a clue before I see her!

Basically we want to get the recordings onto a medium which will make it future proof - as long as we re-copy to the future every 3 years or so...
