Forget ripping. You can sedately play them in your MD while recording
the sound to hard disk in Cool Edit.
The music in jack is the most likely one. You will need a stereo
miniplug to whatever that connector is. Stereo miniplug is like the
small headphone plug.
Then you just connect line out on your MD into your music in (which
should be the equivalent to line in. Set up your sound input to be from
there, set up Cool Edit on record, hit play on your MD. I recommend
making each track on the MD a separate file. Remember to set it all up
as 44k 16 bit sampling if it's not already set. And you will need a
bunch of disk space.
This is the basics. You will have to fiddle with volume settings record
settings and so on to get the level right. And you may or may not find
the sound quality acceptable. If not, the first suspect is probably your
soundcard.

hi there,
i dont write much to the list, but here goes... the optical
line is to record from the computer, to the minidisc, not
the other way.. you cant record audio through the optical
on the computer, at least not with my md (sony)..
hope this helps..
on the other question, why are u having the microfone
connected to the md, and are recording to the computer at
the same time?????? weird..
