Connect it to the line-in on your sound card and record. Some minidisc players also have USB ports and proprietary software to transfer data.

when did you buy your minidisc?
i got mine in like 2002, 2003, i loved it. But it became impractical. Now I use an ipod for listening and a zoom h-2 for recording

re-recording is gonna make it sound worse, so get some software and transfer the file over.

most or all minidiscs has either optical or coaxial digital output (and input), alot of soundcards (mostly external) has that too (mostly coaxial, which is called s-pdif in producing-industry somehow) so I assume you could use that to avoid converting from digital to analog to digital again. then download some recording tool who allows to do the recording right like www.reaper.fm. maybe, i havent got mucho experience with s-pdif but i would try it. echo audiofire 2 is a great external soundcard (firewire) who has s-pdif.

i actualy find it a pitty that MD didnt last. it was a great platform imo. could be alot bigger in time tho, two three hours would be great.
i used it make loops before hehe it was awesome.
