No offense, but there certainly needs to be a good MiniDisc FAQ created, as
we get this question every two weeks "Is there a minidisc drive I can put
audio on" or "How do I record MP3's to MiniDisc".
Right, now, I'll do a little explanation here, on question 2 only (not
enough knowledge about question 1 to be quite honest). Technically there is
a PC MiniDisc drive, but it is frightfully slow, SCSI interface I think, but
it will not record on anything but Data discs, which cannot be played in
generic MD players. There is technically, however, a FireWire device for
copying to MiniDisc, 4x, the Sony Lissa, but it costs quite a bit and it is
more akin to a separate rather than an actual drive.
