    It's easy to do - I'm guessing you are on a home hi fi?

    You need a CD - R with a digital out (either coax or optical) and an MD deck with the same connector as an input. You can use normal phono cables at line level though the recording will not be digital.

    Something like a Sony MDS 533 or 930 (I think that that it what they are called) has such features. For brands of CD-R, I really like Teac recorders but it's up to you.

    ATRAC compression (the way MD works) cuts lower (supposedly sub sonic and super sonic) frequencies. The thing is, myself and many friends have must have superhuman hearing - either that or The Sony consortium got the frequency range wrong - we can almost without fail tell a Mini Disc from a CD. If this is a SERIOUS issue, don't bother but for what most people use MD for (working copy dupes, portability etc) it will be fine.

    HTH
