This looks interesting.  I have a couple hundred discs I've recorded
off-air of various programs.  However, if I understand Sony's
documentation, they can only import PCM, HiSP and HiLP discs. 
Unfortunately all but a couple of my discs are recorded in SP mode.  I
didn't have a HiMD deck until the Onkyo MD133 came out.

So far, the only faster-than-real-time solution I've seen is the EDL
system, which uses a modified Sony data drive.  The disadvantage is
that it does the ATRAC decoding on the PC; I don't know what generation
of ATRAC decoder they use.  Might be an early one.

The solution I may end up using eventually is recording the digital
output of the minidisc deck to large WAV files under linux.  To get the
track marks transfered I might be able to use the MD Editor2 program,
which will write a CSV file with the track info, a small "shim" program
which I would write to turn this into a "CUE" file and the "split"
function of EAC to split the one big WAV file into separate track WAV
files.  Sounds like a lot of work!

Damn you Sony for making this so hard...  You got what you deserve.  MD
has essentially died a long and slow death.  While once Sony was king of
the hill with the Walkman, now Apple has the portable music market tied
up with their iPod.
