Wll in short NO, the only way would be to record analog to analog which would suck monkey balls in quality. Might as well just try and find the albums on MP3 and download them. Try http://www.isohunt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.isohunt.com and use a torrent client

What you need is one of these, I used to have my MD Separate (long time now sold) hooked up to my Old Old PC and it has Optical In/Out

but you should be able to find an older model on ebay somewhere

Scratch all of that... there's one installed in my brothers PC, which seen as he's in china it won;t matter if its uninstalled for a while...

If I can find all the software etc etc for it you could borrow it for a while.

Edit:  Have checked with Keith and this isn't a problem so i'll see if I can find the bits.

Sorry M8, turns out its not been connected up inside the case for years so all the cables & software etc are long gone which means it won't work

I could burn them to CD for you on my standalone but would take ages and I don't have MD player anyway.

Like G said,  Download them or let me know what albums you want and I'll see what I've got.
