Well, the USB will ensure that it stays digital but you could just record an mp3 from your line in socket on your soundcard. Theres plenty of software out there to do it. Some of its free. Search for Easy CD-DA Converter. Thats what I use smile

hmm, :I: Use an analog connection from my portable MD Line Out 2 channels 1 & 2 of my Soundcard...

:I: play the whole song (album etc...) in2 Soundforge and then save it as an MP3 (around 192kbps). This can B done effectively with Sound Forge 5.

If you have a digital input on your sound card, that would be best.
If not, line out from the MiniDisc to Line in on your sounds card.
Use Wavelab, it can record and convert to MP3 in the best quality. I think it can even record as MP3, but I'm not sure.
