I use a similar setup, transferring digitally via S/PDIF from my
computer to the MD, and the simplest way of marking tracks is to insert a
couple of silence seconds between them.
If you're transferring MP3, You can either use a 2 second silence mp3 file
(available on sites listed on the MP3 Handling section of minidisc.org) or
make your mp3 player to issue a 2 second pause between reproduction. If
you're recording different audio files, create a 2 second silence audio
file and play them between tracks, that's it.
Nevertheless, I'd check the MD manual first to see if the
auto-track-marking feature is enabled, and works via the S/PDIF input.
Mine is a MDS-JA20ES and works as expected, I guess this is pretty common
to all MD's...
