Hi Gianni-
You are on to the trick. The digital data with NET MD's goes PC->MD,
not reverse. If one wants to produce digital sounds (rather than
consume them) that costs extra-- usually requiring an MD deck. Sony
makes a cheaper deck now, ~$250 I think. check minidisco.com. Be
careful when buying an MD recorder because many newer MD models don't
have a mic input either. Rob D.
