Re: Minidisc Player with optical conection

<<<no metadata is sent over.>>> I still think that in a lot of these cases, there is no metadata to send. If you have a machine or service that can't connect to the internet to figure out the song names and artists, or, you haven't connected before with that particular album, you lose on sports cal...

Make WAV files to burn CDs and to load into iTunes/iPod as AAC. Occasional mic work for spoken word recordings 2.) where does Audacity really shi...
