Hmm, why don't you just hook up your tuner straight to your soundcard's Line In and then record with harddisk recording programs such as CoolEdit or Total Recorder ? That way you avoid quality loss by having to go through several A/D converters and also you avoing the ATRAC compression that MiniDisc uses (which gets worse when the file is decompressed and compressed to MP3).

And also as far as I know, MusicMatch uses the worst MP3 codec available, Xing (it cuts off at 16KHz, producing very bad quality MP3s). You should look into the LAME / RazorLame combination if you want to produce decent-quality MP3s.
(available at http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/ and http://www.dors.de/razorlame/ respectively).
